What is 2030 Agenda
How Madrid contributes to the 2030 Agenda SDGs
In September 2015, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It is universal, comprehensive, and structured around 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 targets.
In March 2021, the city of Madrid approved its Localisation Strategy for the 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals. The Strategy sets out 24 municipal lines of action, organised into six central policy planks. In parallel and in line with this, it published a set of 104 goals and a system of 160 indicators, enabling it to assess compliance with the goals over the years.
