Our intentions: Reviewing New Zealand’s preparedness to implement the Sustainable Development Goals

The Agenda sets 17 global sustainable development goals (SDGs) that cover social, economic, and environmental sustainable development.

What we’re focusing on

We’re looking at the government’s preparedness to implement the goals, assessing:

• how the government is demonstrating commitment to achieving the SDGs;
• the accountability and governance arrangements for the SDGs;
• how the government is building public awareness of the SDGs and encouraging stakeholders to participate; and
• the monitoring and reporting arrangements that assess New Zealand’s progress towards achieving the SDGs.

The difference we expect to make

This work will provide an independent view on New Zealand’s preparedness to achieve the SDGs by 2030, providing findings that inform government organisations’ planning, implementation, and monitoring activities for the SDGs.

Please use the feedback form on the right if you’d like to speak to a staff member about this work, make a suggestion, or ask a question.

We expect to complete this work in the first quarter of 2021.
