The Local Government Association (LGA) in partnership with the UK Stakeholders for Sustainable Development (UKSSD) have launched a guide to help boost councils’ efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in England and Wales.
The SDGs are an urgent call for action by all countries to end poverty and other deprivations to improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic strength—all while tackling climate change.
Councils are at the front of meeting the challenges that the SDGs seek to resolve and it is therefore essential that the Government recognises that engaging with the goals cannot purely be an internal exercise. As councils across the country continue to lead their communities through the coronavirus pandemic, it is vitally important that they have the resources and support to lead them through the recovery and continue to fight against climate change.
