As part of LAG21’s Global Sustainable Municipality in NRW (GNK NRW) Closing Event, Jens Martens from Global Policy Forum addressed the relevance of Agenda 2030 as a guiding framework, not only on the state and regional, but also on the local level. In order to implement Agenda 2030 on the local level, individual SDG indicators need to be determined and subsequently monitored. In the process, networking and knowledge sharing between municipalities can help to accelerate the progress among them and upstream information sharing inform the state and country level. In the end Martens proposes six key areas of activities to overcome four future challenges he identifies to localize SDGs.
