The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a plan of action for “people, planet and prosperity”. The 17 goals cover all crucial policy areas to secure a sustainable future, including education, health, economic development, social protection, environmental protection, and natural resources governance. The 17 goals are operationalised in 169 targets which need to be reached by 2030 or earlier. The SDGs build on the Millennium Development Goals. A crucial difference between the Millennium Development Goals and Sustainable Development Goals is that the former were mainly targeted to governments, while the latter target many different stakeholders, including the private sector and voluntary sustainability standards. Indeed, a shift in approach between the Millennium Development Goals and the Sustainable Development Goals is the recognition that policy objectives are best achieved by involving and integrating different stakeholders in the policy process. This is explicitly recognised in SDG 17, which aims to foster partnerships for these goals (see Georg von Schnurbein’s introduction to this volume). As a result, the 2030 Agenda carves out an important role for private actors in governing for sustainable development. Among private (understood as “non-state”) actors, Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSS) can play an especially important role for the SDGs and for SDG 17 in particular, as they can both serve as implementation means and help revitalise the partnerships for these goals. First, VSS can act as enforcement mechanisms for these goals, since they share similar objectives with the SDGs (WWF 2017). Although the language of the SDGs distinguishes between “goals”, “targets”, and “indicators”, the generic term “objectives” is used in this chapter to refer to the fact that complying with specific standards of a VSS can contribute to achieving specific targets of an SDG. Second, VSS contribute to foster partnerships, since they operate globally and connect the Global South to the Global North through values chains (Ponte 2019). In a world characterised by an exponential growth in international trade and, more importantly, a change in the nature of trade, VSS can potentially play a crucial role to contribute
《2030年可持续发展议程》和可持续发展目标是一项“人类、地球和繁荣”的行动计划。这17项目标涵盖了确保可持续未来的所有关键政策领域,包括教育、卫生、经济发展、社会保护、环境保护和自然资源治理。这17个目标在169个具体目标中得以落实,这些具体目标需要在2030年或更早之前实现。可持续发展目标以千年发展目标为基础。千年发展目标和可持续发展目标之间的一个关键区别是,前者主要针对政府,而后者针对许多不同的利益相关者,包括私营部门和自愿可持续性标准。事实上,千年发展目标与可持续发展目标之间的方法转变是认识到政策目标的最佳实现方式是让不同利益攸关方参与政策进程并将其纳入其中。可持续发展目标17明确认识到这一点,该目标旨在促进实现这些目标的伙伴关系(见Georg von Schnurbein对本卷的介绍)。因此,《2030年议程》确立了私营部门在治理可持续发展方面的重要作用。在私营(被理解为“非国家”)行为体中,自愿可持续发展标准(VSS)可以为可持续发展目标,特别是可持续发展目标17发挥特别重要的作用,因为它们既可以作为实施手段,也可以帮助振兴这些目标的伙伴关系。首先,VSS可以作为这些目标的执行机制,因为它们与可持续发展目标有相似的目标(WWF 2017)。虽然可持续发展目标的语言区分了“目标”、“具体目标”和“指标”,但本章使用的通用术语“目标”指的是遵守VSS的特定标准可以有助于实现可持续发展目标的特定目标。其次,VSS有助于促进伙伴关系,因为它们在全球范围内运作,并通过价值链将全球南方与全球北方联系起来(Ponte 2019)。在一个国际贸易呈指数级增长,更重要的是贸易性质发生变化的世界中,VSS可能发挥至关重要的作用

Partnership is understood as a cooperation among relevant stakeholders, including public, public-private, private, and civil society organizations (for example, nonprofit organizations, associations). Such a cooperation aims at improving the relevance of projects, programs, and policies, and the sustainability of their outputs (Audit Commission 1998, p. 43; OECD 2001). A sense of co-responsibility and co-ownership by all partners stands behind the increased relevance and sustainability (Iftikhar 2012). Another added value of partnership relates to enabling partners to share a pool of resources and its better use (Audit Commission 1998, pp. 44–46). The presence of partnership as the goal 17 among the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) underlines its importance for sustainable development. SDGs are well covered by sub-goals (targets) and indicators to monitor their performance. This also concerns the Sustainable Development Goal No. 17 (hereafter SDG17), to strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development (UN 2016), which is of our consideration. There are 19 targets and 25 monitoring indicators under the SDG17. These targets and indicators cover finance, technology, capacity-building, trade, and systemic issues (UN 2015, 2016). From this perspective, it is not a methodologically difficult task to monitor the progress in achieving the targets, but it still does not say anything about the efficiency, effectiveness, or impact of SDG17, as this is a task for evaluators. There is a difference in the use of monitoring and evaluation. Monitoring is a managerial continuous activity, with the aim to keep projects on track and check progress according to pre-defined objectives and indicators, as is also the case of the SDG17. Moreover, it helps to make corrections if the implementation is not heading towards the pre-defined objectives. An evaluation makes a judgement about the projects and policies and assesses their success or failure in relation to relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, impact, and sustainability (Morra Imas and Rist 2009, p. 108). Evaluation is used more for learning purposes than monitoring. A project that has not achieved its goals can be used for learning purposes, and evaluations can provide managers and policymakers with information on how to perform better. From this
