Abstract
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as defined on 25 September 2015 by United Nations (UN) Member States, present for the first time an integrated and unique perspective of sustainability comprised by the economic, social and environmental dimensions. Even if this paradigm is aiming human life improvement worldwide regardless of the countries’ economic status, there is a lack of policy framework and guidance in achieving the stated SDGs (Dannecker, 2016). These circumstances relegate sustainability to serendipity, unless specific mechanisms to ensure sustainability will be developed in short time.
