Abstract
Given the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, which is to run from 2021 to 2030 (UN Educational, Scientific and Culture Organization, undated), together with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and Agenda for 2030, many chapters of this volume highlight the pressing issues concerning sustainability in maritime niche areas with a sharp focus on ways forward aligned with the concept of good ocean governance. This concluding chapter provides a holistic overview of pertinent overarching interlinkages that bind the different SDG, by identifying areas where the targets contained within those SDG can be directly, or partially, related to various aspects of the maritime domain—shipping, ports, fisheries, climate change, renewable energy, for example. It also highlights the diverse and varied nature of the chapters contained in this volume, covering areas where sustainability strategies are needed not only at the current time, but also extending beyond 2030.
