Description

This prescient book explores global challenges in the field of sustainable development, examining the key factors identified by the UN Pact for the Future. Expert contributors discuss the commitments outlined in the UN Common Agenda and suggest future pathways towards the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Leading and emerging international scholars reflect on the five areas highlighted in the Pact for the Future: sustainable development and financing for development, international peace and security, science and technology, youth and future generations, and transforming global governance. These areas are pertinent to a wide range of existential issues faced by the international community -- from multidimensional poverty to educational gaps, from environmental crisis to armed conflict and violence, from urban pressures to the rights of future generations. Chapters provide detailed case studies, including sustainable smart cities in India, the 2015 Well-being of Future Generations Act in Wales and environmental displacement in Mexico and Bangladesh. The book addresses the geopolitical shifts that threaten global progress towards sustainability and identifies emerging sustainable development concepts such as One Health, ecological civilization, environmental migration and the Anthropocene.

Scholars and students of development economics, political science, environmental studies, and law will greatly benefit from this timely book. Presenting a multidisciplinary approach, the book is also an essential resource for practitioners and policymakers in urban policy and human rights, as well as those working for international organizations such as the UN and the World Bank.
