Linking Environmental Governance to SDG Outcomes: A Theoretical Perspective

Author(s) Ms. NIDHI SINGH, Mr. Sanjay Medhavi
Country India
Abstract The realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is closely linked to the strength of institutional frameworks and the effectiveness of governance mechanisms. This study develops a theoretical framework that connects environmental governance with SDG outcomes by synthesizing insights from research on governance systems, policy coherence, sustainability transitions, and socio-ecological perspectives. Grounded in theories such as adaptive governance, earth system governance, institutional theory and policy coherence theory, the paper examines how elements including governance quality, stakeholder involvement, institutional coordination, and coherent policy design collectively shape sustainability outcomes. It is argued that environmental governance functions as a pivotal mechanism that brings together economic, social, and environmental dimensions, thereby supporting progress toward the SDGs. The framework further identifies key channels namely energy transition, environmental performance, and green growth through which governance influences development outcomes. By offering an integrated conceptual model, the study contributes to the literature and provides a useful foundation for future empirical research and policy development.
Keywords Keywords: Environmental Governance; Institutional Quality; Policy Coherence; SDG Outcomes; Stakeholder Engagement; Sustainable Development Goals.
