The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a universal set of seventeen goals and 169 targets, with accompanying indicators, which were agreed by UN member states to frame their policy agendas for the fifteen-year period from 2015 to 2030. Written by three authors who have been engaged in the development of the SDGs from the beginning, this book offers an insider view of the process and a unique entry into what will be seen as one of the most significant negotiations and global policy agendas of the twenty-first century. The book reviews how the SDGs were developed, what happened in key meetings and how this transformational agenda, which took more than three years to negotiate, came together in September 2015. It dissects and analyzes the meetings, organizations and individuals that played key roles in their development. It provides fascinating insights into the subtleties and challenges of high-level negotiation processes of governments and stakeholders, and into how the SDGs were debated, formulated and agreed. It is essential reading for all interested in the UN, sustainable development and the future of the planet and humankind

Moving on from the usual much-discussed viewpoints, Barrow looks towards practical management and problem-solving techniques. He clarifies the definition, nature and role of environmental management in development and developing countries, beginning with an introduction t

Durant trois ans, des equipes de chercheurs de l'Ecole polytechnique federale de Lausanne se sont investis dans quatre projets en partenariat avec des institutions scientifiques du Sud. Forts de ces collaborations, ces chercheurs se sont efforces de batir des ponts entre la recherche scientifique et le developpement durable, dans des espaces geographiques tres diversifies, qu'il s'agisse de grandes agglomerations urbaines latino-americaines, d'une ville africaine de moyenne importance et ses quartiers periurbains, ou encore d'une zone de montagne enclavee du Haut-Atlas. Cet ouvrage propose une synthese de ces differents projets aux contextes scientifiques varies : developpement de biotechnologies a partir de production de ressources indigenes, planification urbaine au moyen de nouvelles technologies, exploitation et interconnexion d'energies renouvelables ou encore analyse des enjeux lies aux innovations environnementales en milieu urbain. Au-dela de cette diversite, des principes, des methodes de collaboration, des enjeux emergent qui ont pour objectif de renforcer le lien social de la science.

Increasing concerns regarding the world’s natural resources and sustainability continue to be a major issue for global development. As a result several political initiatives and strategies for green or resource-efficient growth both on national and international levels have been proposed. A core element of these initiatives is the promotion of an increase of resource or material productivity. This dissertation examines material productivity developments in the OECD and BRICS countries between 1980 and 2008. By applying the concept of convergence stemming from economic growth theory to material productivity the analysis provides insights into both aspects: material productivity developments in general as well as potentials for accelerated improvements in material productivity which consequently may allow a reduction of material use globally.The results of the convergence analysis underline the importance of policy-making with regard to technology and innovation policy enabling the production of resource-efficient products and services as well as technology transfer and diffusion.
