“…Relatedly, this case study shows the importance of building trust among participants in multilateral processes as a bridge to effective collaboration. The literature emphasizes the value of trust and willingness in making partnerships work and delivering SDG 17; it recommends that further analysis of trust-building activities in the development of multi-stakeholder partnerships is needed [69,70]. This case study demonstrates crucial tactics that can be replicated to build trust in similar processes, through the appointment of a well-resourced external independent facilitator who is knowledgeable about the subject matter and is able to steer the conversation in the right direction, is independent (without "skin in the game"), and who operates behind-the-scenes.…”

Voluntary sustainability standards are often inconsistent and fragmented in terms of governance, complementarity, global applicability, and traction. Calls to harmonize this space have been intensifying. The objective of this study was to better understand the role that private philanthropy has played in helping to pave the way for globally consistent and comparable sustainability-related standards in the corporate sector, through the analysis of a case study. Twenty-four interviews with 31 stakeholders were carried out between October 2021 and January 2022, using a semi-structured questionnaire. The interview responses and qualitative data were analyzed using Atlas Ti software and open coding procedures. All interviewees spoke positively about the philanthropic intervention in question, and five main themes emerged: (1) strategic relevance and effective targeting of the intervention; (2) trust-building tactics: expertise, neutrality, and facilitation; (3) flexible and strategic interventions; (4) cultivating the standards harmonization philanthropic network; (5) strategic directions for philanthropy, moving forward. Three specific tactical approaches were identified that could help to orient future philanthropic action: (a) the steering of philanthropic support (both funding and non-financial support) toward ventures where such interventions can be advantageous, relative to formalized governmental interventions; (b) the facilitation of partnerships and trust, amid delicate interpersonal and organizational politics among standard-setters and donors alike; (c) the flexibility and specificity of grant requirements, coupled with a long-term vision.

“…It refers to the development of partnerships between multiple stakeholders from all sectors of society and addresses the way in which global alliances may be implemented in the seven areas of finance, technology, trade, capacity development, policy coherence, partnerships, and data. Although the first sixteen Sustainable Development Goals refer to specific actions, SDG 17 addresses the way that the other goals may be implemented through the promotion of development partnerships between the different stakeholders [3] . In other words, SDG 17 encourages the "right way" of working, through the creation of multi-actor alliances.…”

193 members of the United Nations approved the 17 Sustainable Development Goals in September 2015. According to the 2030 Agenda, the SDGs contemplated the ending of poverty, the protection of the Earth and the promotion of prosperity for all. Sustainable Development Goal 17 (SDG 17) deals specifically with the creation of global alliances for development. The underlying assumption respecting this point is that these stakeholder partnerships encourage the interchange of knowledge, experience, technology, and other resources to administer efficiently the other sixteen SDGs. Although SDG 17 is very well established in theory, in practice there are still appreciable downfalls as to how to successfully make this theory become a reality. This short review will analyse the potential viability of SDG 17 “partnerships for the goals” with respect to SDG 7 (affordable and clean energy), and thereupon SDG 13 (associated with climate action) utilising two south-western France two wind farm initiatives.

“…Secondly, the latter may be complemented by the development of multi-stakeholder partnerships operating at all levels (i.e., global, national, and regional levels) to incorporate knowledge and experiences to achieve the other sixteen SDGs. The latter opens the discussion on how the different stakeholders should best work to achieve their specific goals [8].…”

The seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to address environmental, social, global, and economic challenges. The SDGs were a continuation of the Millennium Development Goals and assumed a common vision for the year 2030. Efforts to achieve the SDGs must be carried out in an integrated manner, respecting the three pillars of sustainable development, which are economic, social, and environmental. This review analyses the viability of Sustainable Development Goal 17 (SDG 17), which aims to build global partnerships for development. It makes specific reference to multi-stakeholder collaboration between all sectors of society. While the first sixteen SDGs are dedicated to concrete actions, SDG 17 Partnerships for Development coordinates and facilitates the implementation of the other goals. SDG 17 promotes the “right way” of collaboration between different actors through the formation of multi-stakeholder partnerships, which are essential to foster sustainable development. Although SDG 17 has its multiple advantages, it also does have its limitations, such as the present absence of a lessons-learned repository to share and understand how multi-stakeholder partnerships can prove more effective in promoting the successful implementation of the rest of the SDGs, as well as that SDG 17 seems to be regarded as more appropriate to the achievement of the economic pillar of sustainability at the moment, rather than being applied more widely. In this review, we analyze two case studies located in the south-western part of France, from which one can observe the great number of stakeholders, some non-human, even inanimate, present even in relatively minor projects and how due consideration of the interests of all of them in a manner following due process (albeit lengthy) enables decisions to be reached correctly and approved projects implemented soundly. One of the projects was rejected and did not proceed, while the other was approved and is going ahead.
