Sustainable Development Goals Series
The Sustainable Development Goals Series is Springer Nature’s inau-
gural cross-imprint book series that addresses and supports the United
Nations’ seventeen Sustainable Development Goals. The series fosters
comprehensive research focused on these global targets and endeavours to
address some of society’s greatest grand challenges. The SDGs are inher-
ently multidisciplinary, and they bring people working across different
fields together and working towards a common goal. In this spirit, the
Sustainable Development Goals series is the first at Springer Nature to
publish books under both the Springer and Palgrave Macmillan imprints,
bringing the strengths of our imprints together.
The Sustainable Development Goals Series is organized into eighteen
subseries: one subseries based around each of the seventeen respective
Sustainable Development Goals, and an eighteenth subseries, “Con-
necting the Goals,” which serves as a home for volumes addressing
multiple goals or studying the SDGs as a whole. Each subseries is guided
by an expert Subseries Advisor with years or decades of experience
studying and addressing core components of their respective Goal.
The SDG Series has a remit as broad as the SDGs themselves, and
contributions are welcome from scientists, academics, policymakers, and
researchers working in fields related to any of the seventeen goals. If you
are interested in contributing a monograph or curated volume to the
series, please contact the Publishers: Zachary Romano [Springer; zachary.
