Getting Started with the Sustainable Development Goals
A Guide for Stakeholders
Recommendation
In September 2015, all 193 United Nations member states agreed to adopt 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), marking a universal embrace of a new paradigm for safeguarding the planet and bettering the human condition. Now comes the hard part, as governments and other primary stakeholders begin to assess their current progress towards achieving the goals. To that end, the Sustainable Development Solutions Network has put forward some guiding principles to help stakeholders begin moving toward implementation of the SDG agenda. getAbstract recommends this preliminary report to academics, business leaders, local and national policy makers, and civic groups working to orient their planning and policy priorities around the SDGs.
