Implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in Canada and the world

In 2015, world leaders adopted the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The 2030 Agenda, which introduced 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), sets out a transformative plan for people and the planet. It aims to promote shared prosperity, environmental sustainability and progress on sustainable development that leaves no one behind. Realizing the ambitions of the 2030 Agenda requires a whole-of-society approach. Governments, citizens, civil society organizations, academia and the private sector all have roles to play in contributing to sustainable development outcomes.

Cooperation Canada contributes to the successful implementation of the 2030 Agenda in Canada and the world through research and analysis that focuses on identifying and promoting good practices that governments, civil society organizations and others can use to inform their efforts. We are also a proud member of Alliance 2030, Canada’s national network of organizations, institutions and individuals committed to achieving the 17 SDGs by 2030.

Multi-stakeholder engagement in 2030 Agenda implementation (2020)

Cooperation Canada partnered with the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs to research how governments engage with diverse stakeholders to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The 2030 Agenda calls on governments to apply a whole-of-government and a whole-of-society approach to realizing the Sustainable Development Goals. Based on a review of countries reporting to the High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development over 2016-2019, the study identified trends and country experiences with respect to multi-stakeholder engagement. The report showcases 10 lessons to inform inclusive and participatory approaches to 2030 Agenda implementation.

Academic-civil society partnerships in support of the 2030 Agenda

In addition to Cooperation Canada’s policy and analysis, the Next Generation Collaboration for Development Program will identify how Canadian research is supporting the 2030 Agenda, funded in part by the Government of Canada’s Sustainable Development Goals Program.
