Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The world is facing a multitude of major challenges; a global sustainable development model is needed to guide countries towards an inclusive, green, resilient, and shared future. In September 2015, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a Resolution called Transforming Our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which includes 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The core of the SDGs lies in how to implement them well, which needs to be fully explored from the aspects of progress assessment, policy design, action, and local practice.
The Special Issue is called State of the Art of Assessment for Sustainable Development Goals—2nd Edition. The goal of this Special Issue is to publicize and recommend the actions and effects of SDG promotion in various countries and regions around the world, and to explore the theoretical and practical experience of SDG localization.
This Special Issue is open to any subject area related to the assessment of sustainable development goals. The listed keywords suggest just a few of the many possibilities.
- SDG localization theory;
- Urban sustainable development;
- Sustainable cities and communities;
- SDG progress assessment;
- Creating enabling policies to mobilize financial resources;
- Building policy implementation capacity;
- Monitoring and evaluating policy performance.
If you are uncertain about whether your paper fits into the scope of this Special Issue, please contact the Guest Editor.
