The Routledge International Handbook of Social Development Social Work and the Sustainable Development Goals The Routledge International Handbook of Social Development Social Work and the Sustainable Development Goals answers the question: What is the contribution of social development and social work to the Sustainable Development Goals? The success of these goals requires implementation and each of the 17 objectives for sustainable social progress have a social dimension. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) like the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) before them were born of a larger social development movement which over the last 25 years has become increasingly mainstream in the fields of international development sustainability and social work. These practitioners are essential to the implementation of the SDGs. This handbook examines how the SDGs are being implemented in diverse contexts. No previous work has surveyed social development and social work’s contribution to the SDGs nor represented voices from the Global South on the SDGs. This book broadens the current literature by focusing on key sites throughout the Global South and featuring underrepresented voices from Africa Asia and Latin America. These regions are vitally important to assessing the SDGs as this is where innovative social development projects are occurring and where social workers are playing a leading role in achieving the SDGs. The book is divided into eight parts: • Context of Social Development Social Work and the SDGs • Perspectives on the SDGs • Case Studies on Engagement with the SDG Agenda • Case Studies on Ending Poverty • Case Studies on Health and Well-Being • Case Studies on Gender Equality • Case Studies on Climate and Sustainability • Case Studies on Governance Peace and Justice It comprises 35 newly written chapters by 74 authors.
