In the six years since the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted in 2015, many inspiring breakthroughs and success stories are showing results and impacts worldwide. This report aims to highlight examples of good practices, including those that could be replicated or scaled up by others.
Through an open call for SDG good practices and lessons learned launched by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), over 740 submissions were made from a broad range of stakeholders - from large-scale international initiatives to small-scale ones - that focus on targeted beneficiaries.
Among the results, SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), SDG 1 (No Poverty) and SDG 8 (Decent Work & Economic Growth) are found to be most referred. The report further presents its findings through a regional focus.
