Transforming Multilateral Diplomacy cover

Transforming Multilateral Diplomacy provides the inside view of the negotiations that produced the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Not only did this process mark a sea change in how the UN conducts multilateral diplomacy, it changed the way the UN does its business. This book tells the story of the people, issues, negotiations, and paradigm shifts that unfolded through the Open Working Group (OWG) on SDGs and the subsequent negotiations on the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, from the unique point of view of Ambassador Macharia Kamau, and other key participants from governments, the UN Secretariat, and civil society.

“The adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015 was a defining moment in United Nations history and no one is better placed than Ambassador Macharia Kamau to tell the story of how we achieved this transformative vision for a better world.” —Ban Ki-moon, Eighth Secretary-General of the United Nations

“An inside look at the drama of the negotiations, and the creation of a new UN development paradigm.” —Shannon Orr, Bowling Green State University
