THE SDG IMPACT ASSESSMENT

The GLOBALGOALS Project has organized the 2022 SDG Impact Assessment, the first comprehensive global assessment of the political impact of the Sustainable Development Goals. Written by a global team of over sixty experts and drawing on over three thousand scientific studies, this assessment explores in detail the political steering effects of the Sustainable Development Goals on the UN system and the policies of countries in the Global North and Global South; on institutional integration and policy coherence; and on the ecological integrity and inclusiveness of sustainability policies worldwide. It is a key resource for scholars, policymakers and activists concerned with the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, and those working in political science, international relations and environmental studies more broadly. The assessment is published by Cambridge University Press; the book is available open access and can be downloaded for free.
