S1 Ep9: Meeting the Sustainable Development Goals - a podcast by VoxDev.org

The sustainable development goals have ushered in a new development paradigm. In this interview, **Elliott Harris** discusses the vision behind the creation of the SDGs and how it differs from that of the MDGs. He stresses the need for sustainable and green development, and engagement with the private sector, which has already begun taking sustainability seriously. He further discusses the challenges of translating goals into policy, financing the goals, measuring progress, dealing with the impact of rising nationalism, and moving away from the traditional top-down approach, as well as progress made thus far.
