Opis

This book tests the hypothesis that the implementation of sustainable development, in particular the 2015 SDGs, cannot be successful without metagovernance. Based on literature on governance and metagovernance, and taking into account societal factors in different countries, it presents a framework for the design and management of SDG implementation.
