In doing so it brings in political entrepreneurship as an important perspective on understanding how actors in the European Union interpret and implement the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It is a timely and important contribution that will be of interest to all students of sustainable development.'--Staffan Andersson, Linnaeus University, Sweden
