Almost immediately after the UN Secretary-General called for a Decade of Action to deliver Sustainable Development Goals at the SDG Summit of 2019, the world faced massive COVID-19 induced disruptions at the cost to the global economy. To accelerate progress in the SDGs, the decade of 2020-2030 requires research, innovations, and commitments of various stakeholders at all levels – locally, nationally, and globally. This book contributes to the action agenda by focusing on India's opportunities and challenges, emphasizing India's northeast. Many countries have taken significant actions toward realizing the SDG mission and vision. However, due to a lack of knowledge, research, and innovation, there is a considerable disparity in the countries' actions. Few developed countries have made significant progress in realizing the SDGs, while many developing countries struggle. This book brings together diverse views on various domains of SDGs, providing a sub-national framework for addressing the gaps and meeting the goals.
