This book brings together a series of working papers, produced by
interdisciplinary groups of academics within the project, on
progress made under the Millennium Development Goals and introduces
current debates surrounding the Sustainable Development Goals and
the post-2015 agenda. Originating from an interdisciplinary,
multi-institution research collaboration, Thinking Beyond Sectors
for Sustainable Development, funded by UCL Grand Challenges. The
project brought together over thirty academics from UCL, SOAS,
London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Birkbeck, Institute
of Education, and the Royal Veterinary College, and was coordinated
by the London International Development Centre (LIDC). The book
explores potential interactions between sustainable development
goals in the post-2015 development agenda. Introduced and edited by
Prof Jeff Waage (LIDC) and Christopher Yap (LIDC), chapters are
dedicated to the topics of Biodiversity and Ecosystems, Human
Health, Urban Poverty, Climate and Climate Change, Population
Growth, Food and Agriculture, Information, Education and Knowledge,
and Governance. Each chapter reflects on the three principle
questions of 1) What is the historical process by which goal
setting in this sector has developed?, 2) What progress has been
achieved with this sector through MDGs and other processes? and 3)
What is the current debate about future goal setting?
