Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)
Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Week: 20-29 September 2024
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a blueprint for us to achieve a more sustainable future for all and will help us deal with the global challenges we face including climate change and environmental degradation. In total there are 17 SDGs, which we need to achieve by 2030. For more information on the 17 SDGs, select the link - THE 17 GOALS | Sustainable Development (un.org)
The National Implementation Plan for the SDGs (2022-2024) recognises local authorities as key stakeholders in this and emphasises the important role that local authorities can have in raising awareness of the SDGs and contributing to change. Leitrim County Council along with a number of partners in Co. Leitrim ran a series of events as part of SDG Week 2024 addressing an array of SDGs with a particular emphasis on cross cutting with the climate action goal (where possible). There are still a number of events taking place outside of SDG Week that address sustainable goals, as listed below.
