VIRTUAL LAUNCH: 1 December 2024 | 11:00 – 12:30 (CET)

Although the Sustainable Development Goals are not integrated explicitly into the main urban development plans of the city of Moscow, the local government has started using them as a checklist to assess the contribution of its sectoral programmes to sustainable development, as well as related strengths and weaknesses. Moscow presents very positive educational results, low unemployment rates and a strong innovation capacity, but challenges exist regarding sustainable consumption and production, affordable housing and air quality. The SDGs provide a framework to address these challenges in an integrated way and to contribute, in particular, to the sustainable transition of its industrial sector. The SDGs also facilitate the promotion of synergies across the three main urban development plans, catalyse needed investments in sustainability and enhance collaboration with the private sector.
