Description

Towards effective goal-based governance for sustainable development. This project aims to develop a novel theory to enhance the effectiveness of the next global sustainable development agenda, building on experience with the current Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The assumption underlying the SDGs was that policymakers would rally behind them, create institutions and dedicate resources to achieve them by the 2030 deadline. However, the SDGs effectiveness in driving action and policy change has varied substantially across contexts. Through analysing empirical data from different countries, interviews and workshops, this project will systematically explain those variations. This is crucial knowledge as the world begins to shape the next sustainable development agenda in the lead up to 2030. . Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 4407 - Policy and Administration.
