Sustainable Development Goals: Harnessing Business to Achieve the SDGs Through Finance, Technology, and Law Reform
Sustainable Development Goals: Harnessing Business to Achieve the SDGs Through Finance, Technology, and Law Reform

Where global goals meet real-world business change

This feels ideal for readers who want sustainability discussed beyond slogans, with concrete links to finance, tech, and legal reform. It reads like a big-picture guide grounded in real institutions, case studies, and practical mechanisms that actually move the SDGs forward. If you’re curious how business can shape a fairer future, this gives you both the ambition and the machinery behind it.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals requires a fundamental rethink from businesses and governments worldwide. To mobilise the trillions of dollars needed to realize the SDGs, this volume brings together leaders from the World Bank, finance and business sectors, the startup community, and academia to explain what the SDGs are, how they originated, and how they can be accelerated. Real-world case studies and insights address how to direct investment and reform the global financial system to reflect the SDGs. In-depth chapters discuss how financial institutions, such as UBS Wealth Management, Manulife Asset Management, and Moody’s Rating Agency, are supporting the SDGs. The opportunities arising from blockchain, big data, digital identity, and cutting-edge FinTech and RegTech applications are explored, alongside the role of sustainable and transparent global supply chains. Significant attention is paid to law reform—through SME financing, crowdfunding, peer-to-peer lending, and tax restructuring—that can accelerate progress toward the SDGs. To achieve the ‘World We Want,’ much remains to be done. The recommendations in this book aim to drive a fundamental shift in thinking among business and government to build a more just and prosperous future for all.
