Welcome to this webinar where you will learn about the first ever Nordic Voluntary Sub-National Review of local governments’ efforts to reach the global sustainability goals and Agenda 2030.
The “Nordic VSR” is based on a recent survey sent to all Nordic municipalities and regions. In July, Nordregio together with Nordic Local and Regional Government Associations will present it to a global audience at the UN High Level Political Forum in New York. We will share Nordic learnings and show the world that the local level is leading the way.
During the webinar, you will be the first to learn more about the preliminary results and recommendations from the Nordic VSR, followed by comments and discussion with key stakeholders, including Nordic municipalities, youth networks and civil society. As our digital audience, you will be able to interact with the speakers throughout the programme via chat and polls. You will also be encouraged to share your success factors, needs and challenges working with the global goals/Agenda 2030 at the local level.
The Nordic VSR is produced by Nordregio and an editorial group consisting of:
Local Government Denmark (Kommunernes Landsforening – KL)
Association of Finnish Local and Regional Authorities (Kuntaliitto)
The Icelandic Association of Local Authorities (Samband)
The Norwegian Association of Local and Regional Authorities (KS)
The Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (Sveriges Kommuner och Regioner)
