"Transforming lives while preserving the planet" This is the ambition of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a global framework for action adopted by the UN in 2015. The SDGs call on countries in both the Global South and North to make profound changes in key areas: poverty reduction, gender equality, universal access to clean energy, sustainable cities, health and well-being, climate change mitigation, and more.
Written by a group of researchers, experts, and development actors, this first book in French on the SDGs offers a critical analysis of the 17 goals, their interactions, and the contradictions they also entail.
