Abstract
Abstract(Un)sustainable developments are a significant challenge for state and nonstate actors from global to local level. Within the framework of the United Nations Transformation Agenda 2030 and the global Sustainable Development Goals, state institutions have a particular responsibility in guiding the process. In order to secure acceptance, this article claims that sustainability governance should aim to bring about well‐being‐oriented transformations. In this regard, besides cognitive insight into the need for change, the multisensorial dimensions of human existence in general as well as in everyday social practices in particular should be more systematically taken into account. Foundational conceptual and methodological considerations on sensory‐informed policymaking for sustainable development are discussed.
Highlights
The adoption of the resolution “Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” by the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) on September 25, 2015, reflects recognition by the international community that unsustainable developments are both massive and ongoing and that profound changes will be necessary to impact global sustainability (UN, 2015)
Member states are called upon to lead the process by developing national strategies as key instruments for implementing and monitoring the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) according to country-specific conditions and challenges
Given the social and factual complexity ofsustainable development— with multiple and varied actors facing a range of interdisciplinary topics—and the presumed need for deep transformations, creating and safeguarding acceptance and support for national and subnational sustainability policies is a crucial issue
