Stuttgart - a Livable City - The global 2030 Agenda at a local level

In 2018, the Municipal Council of the State Capital Stuttgart joined the model resolution 2030 Agenda of the Association of German Cities and Towns to actively implement the global sustainability goals. [...] The regular, cross-departmental SDG review enables among other things: • the presentation of the UN sustainability goals in the State Capital both quantitatively and qualitatively and to make these understandable and tangible through a variety of practical examples, • the analysis of developments in the course of time, identifying the inter-relationships and conflicts of interest between sustainab. [...] The present 2021 update addresses the recommendations for the further development of indica- tors and expansion of topics, for instance in the areas of digitalisation, sport and culture. [...] In 2021, the State Capital’s contribution to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda was included in reports to the United Nations: the National Progress Report on the New Urban Agenda and the Voluntary National Review (VNR) on the 2030 Agenda by the German govern- ment. [...] We would like to thank the Statistics Office and the International Relations Department for the reliable preparation of the present VLR in cooperation with the offices, departments and public undertakings of the State Capital Stuttgart.
