This comprehensive yet concise book analyses the current status of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN 2030 Agenda, assessing their progress and providing strategies for achieving them. The authors emphasise the need for urgent action and concerted collaborative efforts to deliver meaningful progress by 2030, as global political turmoil, the Covid-19 pandemic, and climate change have put the SDGs at risk.Pathways and Barriers to Achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals explores the complex and multifaceted nature of the issues targeted by the SDGs. It highlights that the root causes of these challenges are often difficult to resolve in countries facing social, political and financial turmoil, conditions which can have cascading effects on food, nutrition, health, education, and the environment. With only 15 per cent of SDGs on track for 2030, this book puts forward suggestions on how collective action can overcome the challenges to get the remaining goals back on track.This book is a timely resource for students and academics in the fields of development studies, sustainability, and business and management. It is also an enlightening read for policymakers, NGOs, environmental activists, and those involved in pursuing the SDGs.

Globalization and the professionalization of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) have led to a surge of CSR activities claiming to support development across the globe. In this two volume series, the chapters explore this claim through nuanced debate about the potentialities, limitations and threats of development-oriented CSR in the developing world at both the global and local levels. Volume 1 explores whether there is a genuine possibility for corporations to contribute to development through CSR activities. With corporate reach spreading into every corner of the globe, this is a timely contribution presenting cases from developing countries spanning multiple continents. It explores the multi-level and multi-stakeholder dynamics involved in shaping the complex interface between multinational corporations (MNCs) and possibilities for CSR-related development. The chapters highlight the potential for MNCs to spread best practice and complement the role of governments in bridging governance gaps and spearheading capacity building efforts. But they also highlights serious reservations, stemming from isolated assessments, limited appreciation of the complexities of context, and the permeation of a northern agenda that marginalizes local voices.Within the larger debate on the merits and evils of globalization, this volume captures the mixed record of MNCs in promoting effective development in those parts of the world where it is most needed. This important series will be the reference source for academics, practitioners, policy-makers and NGOs involved in development-oriented CSR.

This volume provides a platform for localized perspectives on CSR in developing countries across the globe. The chapters bring local context and business to the forefront and highlight the efforts spearheaded by indigenous actors from within the developing world. They present insights from developing countries through successful and less successful examples of locally-led CSR efforts. Together, these perspectives capture the complex paradoxes of CSR in developing countries and highlight common features in national institutions across the developing world, such as weak political and regulatory institutions, that shape local CSR initiatives and often limit its developmental impact.The editors argue the need to embrace partnership models that leverage the strengths of different actors to promote effective development and tackle the complex challenges facing the developing world. This important series will be the reference source for academics, practitioners, policy-makers and NGOs involved in development-oriented CSR.
