Publisher's Synopsis
In 2015, the United Nations created the 17 Sustainable Development Goals - 17 distinct goals to be met by 2030 to ensure "peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future." Each of the 17 goals covers a distinct humanitarian, economic, environmental, or social concern that the UN believes ought to be targeted to ensure peace and prosperity.
Today, we are on pace to meet an astonishing zero of the goals by 2030 - what gives? In this debut nonfiction work, Carson Eisner discusses four key issues highly relevant to American society and Global Health to demonstrate the problem - "perfect" solutions to global health problems are hard to come by and even harder to implement. Overall, Eisner seeks to bring attention to the Sustainable Development Goals and the important issues discussed while demonstrating to lawmakers and laymen alike how positive social policy can be created by utilizing in-depth research.
