In 2015, international community set itself an ambitious plan for sustainable development with the 2030 Agenda and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To achieve the goals, policy programmes need to be developed that span across different sectors and industries, impact on all levels of government, and have broad societal support. The project therefore strengthens national review, dialogue, and implementation processes on the 2030 Agenda/SDGs, paying special attention to synergies with national strategy processes on environment, biodiversity, and climate. To this end, it supports learning and diffusion processes in global networks/partnerships, provides conceptual work (studies, analyses) on the implementation and strengthening of synergies (SDG-Helpdesk) and offers specific advice on integrated policy approaches for selected partner countries (China, Colombia, Indonesia) so that effective Agenda implementation can progress.
