This book discovers a groundbreaking exploration of sustainable development in the Caribbean. This book reveals how Caribbean nations are navigating the United Nations’ 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), offering sharp, critical insights into progress on ending poverty (SDG 1), zero hunger (SDG 2), quality education (SDG 4), decent work and economic growth (SDG 8), industry and innovation (SDG 9), reduced inequalities (SDG 10), climate action (SDG 13), and strong institutions (SDG 16).Rooted in a powerful decolonizing framework, this book moves beyond conventional analysis to examine how enduring colonial legacies shaped by racism, patriarchy, and economic dependency continue to influence development outcomes. It brings urgent attention to the role of social protection systems, persistent gender inequalities, and the realities of gender-based violence and social exclusion. With a clear focus on the region’s unique vulnerabilities, this book not only interrogates challenges but also delivers solutions. It advances innovative, context-specific financing strategies designed to support sustainable and inclusive development across Caribbean states.Re-centering Caribbean voices and lived experiences, this book challenges dominant global narratives and calls for development approaches that truly reflect post-colonial realities. Essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners, this book offers a bold, transformative vision of what sustainable development can and must look like for the Caribbean.
