44. In the end, one has to recognize that the SDGs are the outcome of a complex
negotiation process by 193 UN member states. They map out the right
objectives for the world and every country, but in themselves they are not an
action agenda, as is sometimes said. Instead, it is up to the scientific, policy, and
business communities to determine how the SDG outcomes can be achieved at
global, national, and local scales.
