While some of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) rely on the support of established international organizations and regimes, others lack strong institutions in their governance areas. This raises the question of whether the SDGs can contribute to strengthening these less institutionalized areas in global governance, which would make these goals important factors in advancing international institutionalization. We study this question with a focus on SDG 12, which targets sustainable consumption and production. By analysing in-depth 49 documents and 19 expert interviews, we trace institutional development (2012-2022) focusing on two initiatives, the 10-Year Framework of Programmes for Sustainable Consumption and Production and the later One Planet Network. We indicate mechanisms through which SDGs have influenced international institutionalization processes and some conditions for this impact. However, while the SDGs might offer a temporary impetus to further institutionalization, they do not provide a lasting solution to the challenge of advancing global institutionalization.
虽然17项可持续发展目标（SDGs）中的一些目标依赖于现有国际组织和机制的支持，但其他目标在其治理领域缺乏强有力的机构。这就提出了一个问题，即可持续发展目标能否有助于加强全球治理中这些制度化程度较低的领域，这将使这些目标成为推进国际制度化的重要因素。我们以可持续发展目标12为重点研究了这个问题，该目标旨在实现可持续消费和生产。通过深入分析49份文件和19次专家访谈，我们追踪了2012年至2022年期间的机构发展情况，重点关注两项倡议，即《可持续消费和生产十年方案框架》以及后来的“同一个地球”网络。我们指出了可持续发展目标影响国际制度化进程的机制以及产生这种影响的一些条件。然而，尽管可持续发展目标可能会为进一步制度化提供暂时的推动力，但它们并不能为推进全球制度化的挑战提供持久的解决方案。
