Synopsis

This comprehensive yet concise book analyses the current status of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN 2030 Agenda, assessing their progress and providing strategies for achieving them. The authors emphasise the need for urgent action and concerted collaborative efforts to deliver meaningful progress by 2030, as global political turmoil, the Covid-19 pandemic, and climate change have put the SDGs at risk.

Pathways and Barriers to Achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals explores the complex and multifaceted nature of the issues targeted by the SDGs. It highlights that the root causes of these challenges are often difficult to resolve in countries facing social, political and financial turmoil, conditions which can have cascading effects on food, nutrition, health, education, and the environment. With only 15 per cent of SDGs on track for 2030, this book puts forward suggestions on how collective action can overcome the challenges to get the remaining goals back on track.

This book is a timely resource for students and academics in the fields of development studies, sustainability, and business and management. It is also an enlightening read for policymakers, NGOs, environmental activists, and those involved in pursuing the SDGs.
