CASE STUDIES - OVERVIEW

The Urban SDG Knowledge Platform has been developed by United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), the Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG) and CityNet to support cities in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The Urban SDG Knowledge Platform aims to facilitate city-to-city knowledge sharing through provision of a repository of urban policies and initiatives that are working towards local implementation of SDGs. The core content of the platform – the urban policies and initiatives – is user-generated, sourced directly from the local government representatives. Therefore providing local governments with an opportunity to share information about urban policies and initiatives from their cities, as well as gain first-hand knowledge about emerging solutions and innovative practices from other cities.

You may use the form below to upload your own case study/initiative to the Platform. The policies and initiatives should be recent and directly related to the Sustainable Development Goals. Further information on the SDGs can be found here.

After you have registered and uploaded the policies, and pending approval and final edits, your policy/initiative will be featured on the Urban SDG Knowledge Platform. 

 

For any questions or concerns, please fill out the form at the bottom of the page or email sdgplatform@citynet-ap.org.

 
Thank you for your input.

THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGs)

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations member countries in 2015, calls on countries to achieve 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) over the next 15 years. The SDGs aim to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all. Among these is the urban-dedicated Goal 11 which aims to ‘make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.’ However, all of the 17 SDGs matters to local governments, and implementation of 65% of the SDG’s targets will require direct involvement of local actors.

To achieve the SDGs, local action from mayors, city leaders and other urban stakeholders, including citizens, will be critical. For example, implementation of the SDGs will require urban policies and initiatives related to the relevant goals on hunger, poverty eradication, access to water and energy, creation of jobs, improve economic productivity, transport, sustainable management of natural resources, building inclusive and safe societies, ensuring equal opportunities for all, and promoting the adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards.
