These are many of the people whose lives are at the heart of the aspirations embedded in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. They are the people most in need of such essentials as health care, quality education, decent work, affordable energy, and a clean environment.</p><p>This book is the result of a collaboration between the Japan International Cooperation Research Institute and the Global Economy and Development program at Brookings.
