Synopsis Sustainable Development Goals in Southeast Asia and ASEAN by :
The international community has come together to pursue certain fundamental, common goals over the coming period to 2030 to make progress toward ending poverty and hunger, improving social and economic well-being, preserving the environment and combating climate change, and maintaining peace. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been agreed to by states, which have in turn adopted national targets and action plans. This volume studies the governance and implementation of these goals in Southeast Asia, in particular the difficulties in the shift from the international to the national, the multi-level challenges of implementation, and the involvement of stakeholders, civil society, and citizens in the process. Contributors to this volume are scholars from across Southeast Asia who research these issues in developing (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar), middle-income (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam), and developed countries (Brunei, Singapore) in the region. The perspectives on governance and the SDGs emerge from the fields of political science, international relations, geography, economics, law, health, and the natural sciences.

Synopsis Asia and the Pacific Sdg Progress Report 2019 by : United Nations Publications
The main objective of the Asia and the Pacific SDG Progress Report 2019 is to assess regional and subregional progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and targets. It will highlight areas of SDGs that the region has made progress and areas that need collective decisions for prioritizing acceleration or changing the trend. The report will complement other ESCAP SDG-related publications such as inequality theme study and SDG costing to inform deliberations at the Asia-Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development (APFSD), the Asia -Pacific Commission and subsequently in other occasions. The report also aim to provide an effective communication tool that foster inclusive regional consultations and effective engagement of the stakeholders including media and civil society. The report will utilize cross-nationally comparable data from ESCAP database on the proposed SDGs indicator framework and when necessary use supplementary statistics available at the regional and sub-regional levels. In addition to regional and subregional SDG progress analysis, the 2019 version of the regional SDG progress report will provide insights about data availability for SDG monitoring and identifies gapes and provides recommendations for investing in statistical development to fill in such gaps.

Synopsis Decentralization, Local Governance, and Localizing the Sustainable Development Goals in Asia and the Pacific by : Bruno Carrasco
Since its adoption in 2015, the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development has shaped not only international development cooperation but also the design of national trajectories for social and economic development. In tandem with other global agendas adopted that year (such as the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and UN Habitat’s New Urban Agenda) it remains the global and regional blueprint for sustainable development despite the COVID-19 pandemic. The term "localizing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)" has been used to capture the importance of subnational governments for achieving national SDG agendas. However, there is little deeper analysis of the required nexus between fiscal, political, and legal arrangements for SNGs; their involvement in national policy arenas (which discuss and decide on national SDG strategies); and the need for locally disaggregated data systems on the one hand, and effective SDG localization strategies on the other hand. It is this aspect which the present publication explores in greater detail by using country examples and conceptual analyses. The text will be of interest to policymakers, scholars, students and practitioners in public policy and public administration, decentralization, and sustainable development, with a focus on the Asia and Pacific region.
