The 2015 agreement on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) was an ambitious and inclusive agenda that went beyond the poverty agenda of the Millennium Development Goals to incorporate climate change, infrastucture, and governance issues, and redefined development as a universal challenge. The SDGs are also the latest in a series of UN goal-setting processes. This chapter examines the strengths and pitfalls of such global goal-setting and the limitations of capturing development priorities in a single number. It begins with an overview of the SDGs as an agenda, purpose, and political process, and then evaluates global goal-setting as a specific policy tool for elaborating and promoting global development priorities.

Abstract The next few months will be crucial in determining whether the world’s major fishing nations will deliver on commitments under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations to prohibit harmful fisheries subsidies. Timing is of heightened importance given that the EU—the second-largest subsidizer—is reforming its financial instrument for fisheries. This article therefore examines the last 20 years of subsidies provided to the fisheries sector by the EU and supports discussion of the potential future for EU fisheries subsidies and the chance of success for the SDGs. Significant changes have occurred to EU fisheries subsidies during this period. Partly these changes have occurred as a result of the removal of certain capacity-enhancing subsidies and partly due to additional funds being allocated to beneficial forms of public funding. However, progress is slow and a significant amount of capacity-enhancing subsidies remain. Furthermore, the true extent of any reduction in capacity-enhancing subsidies may be shrouded by the Pollyannaish classifications of subsidization, but most disconcerting are the recent positions adopted by both the European Parliament and Council of the EU, which aim to reintroduce some of the most harmful subsidies, thereby putting the progress needed to achieve sustainable fisheries at risk.

Abstract Gender equality is front and centre in the United Nations’ 2030 Sustainable Development Goals’ SDG 5. We are yet to understand how electronic commerce can incorporate gender equality considering this aspiration. The article offers a way. It presents a framework for understanding the multiplicity of gender gaps in e-commerce and provides an analysis of key regulatory and policy challenges women face in e-commerce. The article examines the legal-political implications of different approaches to incorporating gender into trade policy and then advances a multi-level approach to incorporating gender-inclusive e-commerce regulation into trade policy. On this basis, the article formulates policy recommendations for how to incorporate gender-inclusive e-commerce regulation into trade policy that works for development.

Abstract. Economic changes in the context of globalization have left adolescents from Latin American contexts with few opportunities to make satisfactory transitions into adulthood. Recent studies indicate that there is a protracted period between the end of schooling and entering into formal working activities. While in this “limbo,” illicit activities, such as drug trafficking may emerge as an alternative for young people to ensure their social participation. This article aims to deepen the understanding of Brazilian youth’s involvement in drug trafficking and its intersection with their schooling, work, and aspirations, connecting with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4 and 16 as proposed in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the United Nations in 2015 .
