This book presents a comprehensive collection of recent research on the timely topic of sustainable development goals, with a focus on developing countries. In this manner, it furnishes interdisciplinary coverage in terms of sustainable development; it sets forth the pillars of sustainability (environmental, technical and technological, social, institutional, and economic disciplines); and it explores the adaption of these pillars for long-term sustainability. With its survey of transboundary research, experiences, and lessons learned, the book offers integrated conceptual and empirical contributions from diverse interrelated fields. Viable options are set forth for societies in transition in the twenty-first century to achieve well-being in the lives of their people through the eradication of poverty, mitigation of climate change, promotion of lifelong learning opportunities, and empowerment of society. These options also make it possible to deploy affordable energy, sustain economic growth, offer innovation, reduce inequality, and finally, to help ensure global sustainability.

There is a great deal of rhetoric and no shortage of ideas about sustainable development. However, note Cooper and Vargas (both of the U. of Vermont), there has also been an implementation gap. Saying that implementation is the art of the feasible, they present a feasibility framework for profes

This study highlights the need for increased understanding of global environmental sustainability challenges and universalizing solutions as reducing and reversing the environmental impact of economic growth is difficult when a sizable proportion of the world's population has yet to benefit from economic growth. Critical theory formed the study's conceptual framework. Business leaders and commercial farmers were interviewed; data were organized, edited, coded, formatted, and analyzed to determine themes and trends. If sustainable development programs for business and sustainable agriculture research and outreach in developing economies are implemented, a large number of people's standards of living may be raised. This book suggests that possible solutions to global sustainability challenges should be effectively shared between developed and developing countries in order to help make a positive social change.
