About the book
Why are we stuck here and how do we move forward?
Amidst escalating global crises and growing climate anxiety, 5 Ideas from Global Diplomacy offers actionable recommendations to aspiring changemakers to close the compliance gap between political commitment and action, and advance the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. The book journeys beyond sustainability which is typically associated with climate action, and towards sustainable development which includes a critical peace component. Cheung uncovers processes for global change behind the complex global governance landscape through a novel approach known as Transdisciplinary Systems Research. His wit and candor as he navigates the realities of sustainable development make the book a compelling read for a wide audience.
5 Ideas from Global Diplomacy is an open access preprint well grounded in the events of our time. It is a must-read for anyone interested in shaping the future of global governance, sustainable development, and our health.
