Editorial Reviews

"This books presents provocative and stimulating insights about the challenges to implement the SDGs, to overcome political setbacks, and strengthen commitments towards sustainable development. The Brazilian case is particularly interesting given its central role in supporting or undermining worldwide efforts to raise awareness of and take action on the global socio-ecological crisis."

Pedro Roberto Jacobi, Professor, Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil
