'This volume provides a broad and up to date account of European Union governance of sustainable development. In doing so it brings in political entrepreneurship as an important perspective on understanding how actors in the European Union interpret and implement the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It is a timely and important contribution that will be of interest to all students of sustainable development.'--Staffan Andersson, Linnaeus University, Sweden
