Chapter 95: Successful SDG Transformation Through Socio-Economic Co-Creation

The 2030 Agenda represents unprecedented opportunities for doing well and doing good. To leverage this historical momentum and succeed in overcoming the Covid–19 pandemic, communities, businesses and governments together need to identify innovative ideas, products, services and processes for new wealth creation in a sustainable and inclusive manner. According to WBCSD, 12 trillion US$ of value creation and employment could be realized. The three dimensions are conceived as forming an interdependent whole, requiring policies that are intersectorial, multi-stakeholder, inclusive, participatory and transparent. This chapter proposes ways to implement such a holistic sustainable and partnership-based development strategy.
