Beyond the Nation State – Regional Social Policy for SDGs
Effective regional mechanisms are no longer confined to trade, finance and labour
policy, but have increasingly been able to initiate regional social policies across a
wide range of sectors. Building on this success, can they play an enhanced role in
achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, with its focus on cross-border
challenges intertwined across the social, environmental and economic spheres?
This Issue Brief discusses the potential and opportunities for regional organizations
to contribute to the SDGs and identifies priorities for action.
