Dear GEP colleagues, The findings of the SDG Impact Assessment have now been published as an open access book:
“The Political Impact of the Sustainable Development Goals: Transforming Governance Through Global Goals?” Edited by Frank Biermann, Thomas Hickmann, and Carole-Anne Sénit. Cambridge University Press, 2022. Abstract: Written by an international team of over sixty experts and drawing on over three thousand scientific studies, this is the first comprehensive global assessment of the political impact of the Sustainable Development Goals, which were launched by the United Nations in 2015. It explores in detail the political steering effects of the Sustainable Development Goals on the UN system and the policies of countries in the Global North and Global South; on institutional integration and policy coherence; and on the ecological integrity and inclusiveness of sustainability policies worldwide. This book is a key resource for scholars, policymakers and activists concerned with the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, and those working in political science, international relations and environmental studies. It is one of a series of publications associated with the Earth System Governance Project.
