Goals and actions

The localisation of the SDGs is a threefold initiative. One set of actions is centred around informing and engaging regions about the importance of the 2030 Agenda. Another is supporting their implementation efforts and providing channels for continuous peer learning and review. Finally, the last course of action is showcasing good practices and strengthening regions’ voices at the global level.

Ultimately, the initiative has three main goals. It aims to share the contribution of regional governments to the SDGs and understand the internal process undertaken by each region to incorporate and transform the global agenda into their own, reflecting their specific circumstances. Also, it envisages to further develop participatory models of governance and accountability mechanisms, and to craft multi-stakeholder partnerships. Lastly, it seeks to bridge different levels of government for more coherent and coordinated actions, fostering greater ambition, and complementing efforts.
