With Agenda 2030, the UN adopted wide-ranging Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that integrate development and environmental agendas. This book focuses on the political tensions between the environmental objectives and socio-economic aspects of sustainable development.

The collection provides an introduction to interlinkages, synergies and trade-offs between the 'green' and other goals, such as gender equality and economic growth. It also considers related goals on cities and partnerships as crucial for implementing environmentally sound sustainability. Identifying governance failures and responsibilities, it advocates for a shift towards cooperative economics and politics for the common good.

Reviews for The Environment in Global Sustainability Governance: Perceptions, Actors, Innovations

""This timely book vigorously tackles the central challenge of the SDGs: how to resolve the tension between development featuring economic growth and the limitations of the Earth's atmospheric, marine and terrestrial systems."" Oran Young, University of California, Santa Barbara “This volume reveals the international community’s ongoing struggle to reconcile environmental, social and economic goals through the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It is a must-read for anyone thinking about the challenge of reforming global sustainability governance beyond the SDGs.” Michele Betsill, University of Copenhagen “The volume stands as a significant contribution to the expanding body of sustainability governance literature, providing readers with comprehensive insights into the intricacies of global sustainability efforts.” Global Policy Journal
