Description
Achieving sustainable development goals requires multilevel and interdisciplinary efforts and perspectives, including at the local level. In this article, the authors explore ways to localize global goals to best support human well-being and environmental health. They do so by systematically comparing globally-derived sustainable development goals (SDGs) with regionally-derived dimensions of well-being that encompass social and ecological resilience across the Pacific Islands. The study found that while some dimensions of regionally-derived SDGs were well represented in globally-derived SDGsl. The authors highlight the need to create space for place-based values in global sustainability planning.
