Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. An Introduction to the Sustainable Development Goals (2nd Edition - 2026)Volume I: After the ShockWhat happens to global promises when the world itself breaks open?When the Sustainable Development Goals were adopted, they were framed as a roadmap to a better future-measurable, coordinated, and achievable by 2030. When the first edition of this book was written in 2018, progress seemed uneven but plausible.Then came the shocks.A global pandemic. Accelerating climate collapse. Widening inequality. Learning loss. Debt crises. Renewed conflict. A deep erosion of institutional trust.This Second Edition is not a simple update.It is a reckoning.Written in 2026, After the Shock revisits all 17 Sustainable Development Goals with the benefit-and burden-of lived evidence. Each goal is re-examined against what has actually happened since 2018: what improved, what stalled, what quietly collapsed, and what official narratives often fail to acknowledge.This book does not offer optimism without proof-or pessimism without precision.It offers clarity grounded in reality.More importantly, it challenges how we think about the SDGs themselves-not as a checklist of isolated targets, but as an interconnected system where progress in one domain depends on the integrity of others.This is not a policy brief or an advocacy handbook. It is a serious, human work of analysis-written for readers who want to understand why progress has proven so fragile, and what the last decade reveals about the limits of technical solutions in an unequal and unstable world.Grounded in authoritative global data (UN, World Bank, WHO, FAO, UNESCO, IPCC) and written in continuous, reflective prose, this volume is essential reading for students, educators, policymakers, researchers, and practitioners who want more than slogans. Critical Reviews"A rigorous and timely reassessment of the SDGs in the context of profound global disruption."- Prof. Dr. Hassan Diab, Former Prime Minister, Lebanon"An essential resource. I unequivocally recommend this publication."- Shawn Richards, Former Deputy Prime Minister, St. Kitts & Nevis"A compelling and thoughtfully constructed work. the SDGs as an 'operating system of civilization' is especially powerful."- Aleksandar Bogdanovic, Former Minister & MP, Montenegro"Offers clarity without simplifying the challenge."- Rania Assariotaki, Sustainability Director, The American College of GreeceThis book does not ask whether the goals are important.It asks whether we are prepared for what they actually demand.

Each goal is re-examined against what has actually happened since 2018: what improved, what stalled, what quietly collapsed, and what the official language often fails to acknowledge. The book refuses optimism without proof and pessimism without precision. Instead, it offers a sober, deeply researched account of where the SDGs now stand in a world permanently altered by crisis.This is not a policy brief or an advocacy handbook. It is a serious, human work of analysis-written for readers who want to understand why progress has proven so fragile, how goals interact as a system rather than a checklist, and what the last eight years reveal about the limits of technical solutions in an unequal world.Grounded in authoritative global data (UN, World Bank, WHO, FAO, UNESCO, IPCC) and written in continuous, reflective prose, this volume is essential reading for students, educators, policymakers, researchers, and practitioners who want more than slogans.This book does not ask whether the goals are important.It asks whether we are prepared for what they actually demand.
