An Introduction to the Sustainable Development Goals (2nd Edition – 2026)
Volume I: After the Shock
What happens to global promises when the world itself breaks open?
When the Sustainable Development Goals were adopted, they were framed as a roadmap to a better future—measurable, coordinated, and achievable by 2030. When the first edition of this book was written in 2018, progress seemed uneven but plausible.
Then came the shocks.
A global pandemic. Accelerating climate collapse. Widening inequality. Learning loss. Debt crises. Renewed conflict. A deep erosion of institutional trust.
This Second Edition is not a simple update.
It is a reckoning.
Written in 2026, After the Shock revisits all 17 Sustainable Development Goals with the benefit—and burden—of lived evidence. Each goal is re-examined against what has actually happened since 2018: what improved, what stalled, what quietly collapsed, and what official narratives often fail to acknowledge.
This book does not offer optimism without proof—or pessimism without precision.
It offers clarity grounded in reality.
More importantly, it challenges how we think about the SDGs themselves—not as a checklist of isolated targets, but as an interconnected system where progress in one domain depends on the integrity of others.
This is not a policy brief or an advocacy handbook. It is a serious, human work of analysis—written for readers who want to understand why progress has proven so fragile, and what the last decade reveals about the limits of technical solutions in an unequal and unstable world.
Grounded in authoritative global data (UN, World Bank, WHO, FAO, UNESCO, IPCC) and written in continuous, reflective prose, this volume is essential reading for students, educators, policymakers, researchers, and practitioners who want more than slogans.

— Aleksandar Bogdanovic, Former Minister & MP, Montenegro
“Offers clarity without simplifying the challenge…”
— Rania Assariotaki, Sustainability Director, The American College of Greece
This book does not ask whether the goals are important.
It asks whether we are prepared for what they actually demand.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
