Presentation
With the first decade of the 15-year timespan of the 2030 Agenda now past, the SDGs show limited progress and several goals are even regressing. It is imperative that SDG implementation is accelerated until 2030 and beyond to foster transformations and set the world onto a sustainable and resilient path. This book starts with a thematic introduction to contextualize the topic and set the stage for the individual entries. It then follows an A-Z format, with over 100 entries which describe an important concept or term, using practical examples to illustrate how it connects to the overall debate about sustainable development. It is practically oriented and focused on political and societal processes to drive change on a larger scale.
Elisabeth Hege contributed the Budgeting for Sustainable Development entry, and Elise Dufief the Development Banks entry.
