Summary

The adoption of the 2030 UN Sustainable Development Goals was a landmark for the global community and our global sustainability. Now it is time to really start thinking about implementing and realising the new global agenda. And it is already obvious that traditional thinking will not suffice. To reach the new global goals by 2030, there is a pressing need to think creatively and innovatively. The annual investment gap amounts to US$ 2.5 trillion and the shortcoming of sufficient funding requires smart solutions, leverage of private sector capital and inclusion of civil society in new ways.

The idea behind this book is to allow some of the world's most renowned thought-leaders to provide their perspectives on how we collectively reach the global goals. From an artist and a Michelin-chef to a bank president and a Nobel Peace Prize winner, this book presents innovative, bold, and credible solutions to the challenges we face as humanity.
