Abstract: This paper aims to develop principles and criteria as a lens to identify if governance is an appropriate method for tackling sustainable development (SD) issues and achieving SD goals. Examining the compatibility between the practices of governance and the substance of SD, this paper develops and elaborates upon the following principles and criteria of governance for SD (GoSD): the four principles of institutional mobilization, power and resource distribution, interactive cooperation, and understanding assimilation; the three main criteria of structures of GoSD, processes of GoSD, and consensus on substantial values for GoSD; and the related detailed criteria of each. The first and second principles correspond to the main criterion, structure of GoSD; the third principle provides the basis for the main criterion, process of GoSD; and the fourth principle is consistent with the main criterion of consensus on substantial values for GoSD.
