Find out more about the SDGs


The European Commission is committed to implement the 2030 Agenda, and mainstreaming the 17 SDGs goals and related targets across all its policies and programmes. This was laid out already in the 2016 Communication Next steps for a sustainable European future - European action for sustainability.

Ongoing and future efforts are discussed in the 2019 Reflection Paper towards a Sustainable Europe by 2030. Moreover, in the Political Guidelines of the Commission 2019-2024, President von der Leyen attributes a central role to the 2030 Agenda and its SDGs, making sustainable development the keystone of European policies so that Europe can lead the Green and Digital transitions. The role of SDGs at the core of EU policy, legislation and funding is also highlighted with the ‘whole of government’ approach in the 2020 Commission Staff Working Document "Delivering on the UN's SDGs - A comprehensive approach".

The first Voluntary Review of the European Union on the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development takes stock of EU’s internal and external progress to SDGs, detailing how the EU is adding value to the achievement of the goals and also recognising the need to take urgent actions to accelerate the implementation of the SDGs.

The successful implementation of this framework requires a coordinated and coherent approach, for which structured knowledge management tools are needed.
