ABSTRACT
This chapter identifies key tenets of the 2030 Agenda most relevant to the Sport for Development and Peace (SDP) field and proposes that a measured approach is most suitable in analysing the potential contribution of sport. It introduces the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) agenda and the implications for the SDP field. The chapter outlines an approach to analyse the contribution of SDP to the SDGs. It deals with a presentation of exemplar analysis of the contribution SDP-orientated policies and interventions could make to selected SDGs and associated targets. The SDGs extend on the reach of the preceding Millennium Development Goals. The 2030 Agenda emphasizes the integrated and indivisible nature of the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. Environmental sustainability and economic development issues have typically been the premise of actors with a substantive focus on macro and population-level outcomes.
