This series comprises 17 short books, each examining one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The series provides an integrated assessment of the SDGs from an economic, social, environmental and cultural perspective. Books in the series critically analyse and assess the SDGs from a multidisciplinary and a multiregional standpoint, with each title demonstrating innovation in theoretical and empirical analysis, methodology and application of the SDG concerned.
Titles in this series have a particular focus on the means to implement the SDGs, and each one includes a short introduction to the SDG in question along with a synopsis of their implications on the economic, social, environmental and cultural domains.

This special volume is in the memory of Prof Ngok Lee, a Vice President of UNESCO Hong Kong Association, who for many years strived for justice and peace for all people across Australasia. He passed away on March 1, 2019. We were fortunate to have his support during the early stages of this volume. His influences on sustainable changes are deeply missed. We would also like to dedicate the volume to earth and the entire more-than-human, as essential stakeholders in all sustainability discourse.
