The UN Resolution Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development set in
forth at 1 January 2016 enshrines 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) including 169 targets
and seems a conceptual normative answer to the global fluid pattern of economic transformation
shortly: the globalisation. Against this background the SDGs are embarking to the multileveled
legal order following different horizontal and vertical ways. The significance of the SDGs for
the application of the law in the context of regulations of the international level within the
UN and autonomous International Organisations appears to be clearly visible. On the vertical
level regional cooperation such as the EU ASEAN CARICOM are integrating the SDGs in
different legal agreements and similar currently happens on the national level and not to
forget the transnational level as well. This new Commentary covers the whole field of SDG law.
