The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are playing a pivotal role in shaping the future of our world over the next decade. These goals, which aim to uphold the well-being of children and ensure that no one is left behind, particularly focus on the world's most vulnerable populations, including children and adolescents living in poverty and exclusion. In the post-COVID-19 world, where structural exclusions and deep societal inequalities have been starkly exposed, the transformative steps promised by the SDGs assume an even greater significance. This volume aims to address the primary drivers of poverty, exclusion, urbanization, and violence against children and adolescents. By drawing on data and experience from several countries across the world, including Bangladesh, Colombia, Côte d'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Kenya, Malawi, MENA countries, the Netherlands, Pakistan, Sierra Leone, Suriname, and Thailand, it seeks to investigate how knowledge, information, data collection, measurement, and monitoring can support strategies and innovations for effectively implementing the SDGs.

The volume contributes to revealing the politics of social inclusion and offers policy proposals to overcome inequality and exclusion among children and adolescents. It highlights the importance of addressing the root causes of these issues, such as poverty, lack of access to education and healthcare, and social and economic marginalization. By promoting inclusive policies, investing in education and healthcare, and addressing social and economic inequalities, we can create a more equitable and sustainable world for all children and adolescents.

In conclusion, the SDGs provide a roadmap for achieving a better future for all children and adolescents. By working together to implement these goals, we can create a world where every child has the opportunity to thrive, grow, and reach their full potential.
