Multi-stakeholder partnerships (MSPs) involving a diverse set of actors are assumed to reduce implementation gaps the 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While existing research suggests that MSPs can complement state-led efforts in environmental sustainability governance, deeper understanding composition, thematic focus, specific governance functions for SDGs is still wanting. In this article, we present results survey 192 registered on United Nations Partnership Platform, analyzing their set-up organization, partner agency partners, functions, SDG coverage, effectiveness.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as part of "2030 Agenda for Development" and aim to address issues ranging from poverty economic growth climate change. Efforts tackle one issue can support or hinder progress towards others, often with complex systemic interactions. Thus, each SDGs their corresponding targets may contribute levers hurdles achieving other targets. Based on SDG indicator data, we create a systems model considering influence among Once assessed within system, find that more act goals rather than hurdles.

While it is evident that trade‐offs Agenda's objectives might prevent from achieving all 17 simultaneously, extent to which interactions (synergies trade‐offs) facilitate or hinder Agenda has so far received little attention. present study combines topics by linking synergies European Union (EU) member states with a longitudinal these goals.

Using regression analysis, we find significant negative relationship shares among indicators moderate positive synergies, suggesting have bigger influence on pace than synergies.
