ABSTRACT

The key to delivering the Sustainable Development Goals in a truly transformational way is how seriously governments, intergovernmental bodies and stakeholders take their role, singularly or in partnership, in their implementation. This section will look at what the outcomes have been and suggest what the next stages could look like for their implementation at the global, regional, national and subnational level. It will also look at what roles different stakeholders, including industry, can play. The SDGs have been framed as a “we the people” document, rather than taking only a state-centric approach. Its achievement will lie in their ability to inspire people around the world.
