“…Fourth, new development organizations led by Southern actors increased existing coordination challenges within the heterogeneous system of international development cooperation, which was exacerbated by the unresolved conflict between countries from the Global South and Global North on what development cooperation means and who bears which responsibilities. All these factors together have created coordination challenges when it comes to implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (Chaturverdi et al 2021).…”

This ambition was already part of the negotiations of the goals. Here, the United Nations General Assembly had created an 'open working group' of only 30 countries, driven by fears that negotiations with universal participation would not lead to an agreement. However, when over 70 countries wanted to join this group, the United Nations found an innovative way to accommodate them by sharing the 30 seats among 'duos' and 'trios' of countries. In another innovation, the open working group first went through a 'stocktaking' process to create a common understanding of the issues and to create legitimacy among governments and stakeholders (Chasek and Wagner 2016; Dodds, Donoghue and Roesch 2016; Kamau, Chasek and O'Connor 2018). However, some studies criticized these negotiations for being 'unpolitical' and brushing over conflicts (Rivera 2017; Thérien and Pouliot 2020).The academic literature has characterized the 2030 Agenda as 'governing through goals' (Kanie and Biermann 2017: ix). Typical features include a goalsetting process that aims to be broadly inclusive; the non-legally binding nature of the goals; reliance on weak institutional arrangements to promote and implement the goals; and extensive leeway for states or other actors and institutions in responding to the goals (Biermann, Kanie and Kim 2017; Vijge et al. 2020: 256). Some studies argued that goal-setting can be impactful and that the Sustainable Development Goals encapsulate 'seeds for transformation' (Stevens and Kanie 2016). Yet, global governance through goals remains a contested strategy (Kanie et al. 2017: 6; Young 2017: 38). Legal scholars emphasize that goals that are aspirational need additional mechanisms to reach beyond the fragmented and compartmentalized system of international law (Kim 2016: 17). In principle, such mechanisms can be found in the other parts of the 2030 Agenda, especially in the sections on the means of implementation and on the follow-up and review.

“…In order to reach the objectives by the target year (2030), the 2030 Agenda includes a wide range of quantitative and qualitative tools as well as communication methods. In this way, results could be constantly evaluated in the short and medium term (Chaturvedi et al ., 2020). In addition, international, national, regional and local institutions usually upload these parameters, so the evaluation process is quite transparent and open to civil society.…”

PurposeWho leads and the purpose of public leadership matter. The aim of this viewpoint essay is to examine the fundamentals of public policy design and implementation as well as contemporary public leadership from a new approach inspired by the 2030 Agenda. This work provides a more humanistic and fruitful approach to public leadership, which is crucial in the current context of social division, turbulent politics and weak and infertile leadership.Design/methodology/approachThis viewpoint essay is based on academic literature as well as on institutional reports to explore the 2030 Agenda's potential when it comes to outlining a new style of public leadership.FindingsThe 2030 potential has always been analyzed from the different synergies that can be established from the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Nevertheless, this essay proposes to separate from the mainstream discourse by outlining six core properties of the 2030 Agenda as key elements that implicate a new roadmap in the design and evaluation of public policies and contribute in a disruptive way to conceive public leadership.Originality/valueThis essay offers an innovative leadership framework that integrates key elements from the 2030 Agenda perspective with theoretical and practical notions of policy-making and public leadership to overcome the main challenges of the present and future days.
