An interview of Henry de Cazotte (French Ministry of Foreign Affairs) in the monthly seminar "Séminaire du développement durable et économie de l'environnement" organised jointly by IDDRI, EDF Sustainable Development Centre at the Ecole Polytechnique, and Columbia Global Centers Europe at Reid Hall.

What were the main challenges during the negotiations? What do the SDGs reveal in terms of global governance? How will they impact upon EU Member States? Will they bring any change to EU policy-making process? SDGs are part of a "transformative agenda": what will make SDGs “transformative”? How will the review be set up? What would be the milestones towards transformation? Henry de Cazotte addressed these questions on that session of the seminar.
