Summary:

"This comprehensive book considers the interrelationship between the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and global governance. Expert contributors analyse how political uncertainty, governance practices and institutions impact the implementation of the SDGs. The Companion evaluates the evolution of sustainable development governance since 2015. International scholars examine governance and actors at the global, regional, national and local levels through case studies from Africa, Asia, Europe and North and South America. Drawing on both academic research and practical experience in negotiating and implementing the SDGs, they assess the impacts, challenges and successes of sustainable global governance and lessons for the continuing sustainable development agenda. This Companion is a valuable resource for students and scholars of sustainable development, politics and public policy, and global environmental politics. Its practical insights are also beneficial for practitioners and UN officials responsible for monitoring the implementation of the SDGs"-- Provided by publisher.
