Reflexive governance, or governance institutions which include questioning of governance goals and tools from diverse perspectives, is a key part of transformative governance for sustainability. While the structure of the Sustainable Development Goals have plenty of opportunities for such reflexive governance, to date it has not figured centrally in the discussions. This article argues that reflexive governance should be a major priority for the Sustainable Development Goals going forward and that the integration of reflexivity should take account of systemic shocks in recent years. The recommendations are for a major investment in reflexivity in the peer learning mechanisms and for the development of a global roadmap for reflexivity so that the trade-offs between reflexivity and efficiency can be managed.

反思性治理或治理机构，包括从不同角度质疑治理目标和工具，是可持续变革治理的关键部分。虽然可持续发展目标的结构有很多机会进行这种反思性治理，但迄今为止它还没有成为讨论的中心。本文认为，反思性治理应成为未来可持续发展目标的一个主要优先事项，反思性的整合应考虑到近年来的系统性冲击。这些建议是对同行学习机制中的反思性进行重大投资，并制定反思性全球路线图，以便可以管理反思性和效率之间的权衡。
