聯合國永續發展目標與法治

Course Description: This course provides students with a survey of the legal aspects surrounding the efforts to implement the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and Targets. The Sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets were adopted by all UN Member States in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development which set out a 15-year plan to achieve the Goals.

Evaluate the various views concerning the rationale for and objectives of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and Targets with a view to guide further learning; 2.
