Cambridge University Press Cambridge Handbook of Sustainable Development & Int'l Law

Explore the complex connection between the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and international law with this comprehensive handbook from Cambridge University Press. Following the 2015 UN establishment of seventeen goals to create a more sustainable future by 2030, this collection provides an in-depth look at how these objectives function within the global legal framework. The book examines each individual SDG, looking at how these goals relate to one another and the legal structures that govern them. It also investigates the various institutions that can help implement these vital changes. By addressing the historical context of development since the post-World War II decolonization period, this text provides necessary perspective on the relationship between the Global South and Global North. This is an essential resource for those studying how international law can support a more sustainable and equitable world.
