Publisher's Synopsis

This book defines 'sustainable development', setting out the launch of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) from their inception in January 2011 to their operationalization in September 2015. It maps the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and their targets to the SDGs and their respective targets. Nine SDGs are classified on the basis of the mapping exercise as proceeding from the MDGs, and eight as new Goals. One of the nine SDGs (SDG 1) is the subject of a 'Continuation Microstudy', the structure for which is also used for the 'Continuation Macrostudy' that assesses the others from this group for punctual achievement. One of the eight new Goals (SDG 10) is the subject of a 'New Ground Microstudy', the structure for which is condensed into a 'New Ground Macrostudy' that evaluates the other new Goals for punctual accomplishment. The book will be useful to students of development finance and economics, policy-makers in the area of sustainable development, and members of the public who are interested in the world around us and in sustainable development, in particular.
