Abstract

The year 2015 brought two landmark agreements that signaled a growing willingness from many countries to transition onto more sustainable development paths. The first of these landmark agreements, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), endorsed a range of 17 social, economic, and environmental goals to help developed and developing countries reorient development paths from 2015 to 2030. In line with principles of sustainable development, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development called on all countries to formulate and implement integrated development strategies that worked across multiple social, economic, and environmental objectives. With the agreement over the SDGs, policymakers would seek integrated solutions to a variety of development issues, including climate change.
