Geographical Approaches to Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Regions are adapting and innovating planning mechanisms to meet sustainability challenges. Through the geographical approach, different regions can tailor their strategies to achieve environmental sustainability that takes into account their unique geographical factors. Emphasizing cross-jurisdictional cooperation and institutional arrangements, regions may better align their initiatives with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The paradigms surrounding the complex interaction between regional development planning and global sustainability contribute valuable insights to the evolving field of development planning theory. Geographical Approaches to Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) examines how different regions across the globe are implementing development planning strategies to achieve the United Nations SDGs. By analyzing diverse regional approaches, it provides crucial insights into effective localization of global sustainability targets while acknowledging unique geographical contexts. Covering topics such as politics, social commerce, and intellectual property regime, this book is an excellent resource for regional planners, project managers, corporate sustainability consultants, sustainability coordinators, environmental impact assessors, civil society organizations, development project investors, professionals, researchers, scholars, academicians, and more.
