Environmental Governance Guide
Stakeholder Forum for a Sustainable Future
20 March 2026
Stakeholder Forum for a Sustainable Future, in collaboration with UNEP, has just published two useful tools on environmental governance and the review of the Sustainable Development Goals.
A Pocket Guide to Environment and Sustainable Development Governance – Third Edition
The adoption on 25 September 2015 of the 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) marked an increased focus on governance issues. Policy objectives and targets (“What”) are key, but they cannot be implemented without adequate and tailored governance frameworks (“How?”). This Pocket guide is not about setting policy targets, but about how to achieve them.
This Guide starts with sustainable development as a foundation, but then concentrates on environmental governance as one of the three dimensions of sustainability governance. It provides background information on global environmental and sustainable development governance to allow both governmental and nongovernmental stakeholders to familiarise themselves with key issues more comprehensively.
A Primer for Stakeholders to Prepare for the 2027 Review of the SDGs
This primer is intended to galvanise the global stakeholder community thinking about how they might approach, as an organisation or a coalition of stakeholder groups, the 2027 review of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (the SDGs). It proposes activities stakeholders might undertake between UNEA 7 and the 2027 review of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and in particular the Sustainable Development Goals. It will also enable greater stakeholder input to the UN80 process.
