The book takes stock of, and analyses country-specific and universal efforts, programmes and projects that aim at realising the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Specifically, the chapters focus on the achievements and challenges that can potentially aid nations and the United Nations in achieving the 17 goals, chief among which are human dignity, economic development, peacebuilding, equality, public health promotion and tackling of climate change. The text focuses more on challenges, prospects and concrete steps taken in the Global South in the drive towards the attainment of the SDGs.
