In September 2016, the member states of the United | |
Nations completed the process of adopting and defining | |
indicators for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs; | |
United Nations, 2015). Developed through a three-year, | |
worldwide participatory process, these 17 goals and 169 | |
targets represent a global consensus on the part of U.N. | |
member nations towards an inclusive, sustainable world, | |
centered around ensuring equity in all countries at a | |
time of great environmental and humanitarian crises. This | |
Social Policy Report describes the central role of | |
supporting child and youth development in achieving the | |
vision behind the U.N. Sustainable Development Agenda. | |
The report then addresses the importance of developmental | |
science in achieving the aims of the Sustainable | |
Development Agenda through generating knowledge of child | |
and youth development in diverse contexts, monitoring and | |
measurement to reveal patterns of success and inequity, | |
and building capacity for developmental science in all | |
countries. The authors emphasize the goal that most | |
clearly encompasses development from birth to young | |
adulthood (SDG 4) and also describe the relevance of | |
developmental science to the other goals. [For the report | |
brief, see ED581644. Yoshikawa's work on this article was | |
partially supported by a grant from the NYU Abu Dhabi | |
Research Institute to the Global TIES for Children Center | |
at New York University.] | |
