The Age of Sustainable Development
Jeffrey Sachs’s The Age of Sustainable Development (2015) reads as both a roadmap and a warning. Published the same year the UN adopted the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the book outlines pathways to achieve global progress in economic development, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability—while acknowledging the immense challenges that remain. Ten years later, Sachs’s analysis retains striking relevance, particularly as climate change, inequality, and political fragmentation intensify.
