Third SDG National Implementation Plan
The government has opened a consultation on the Third Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) National Implementation Plan. The consultation is open until January 16th.
As an SDG Ambassador Chambers Ireland will be making a submission with suggestions from business on this plan.
The Programme for Government sets out that the government is committed to accelerating Ireland’s progress toward the 17 SDGs by 2030, addressing critical areas such as poverty eradication, climate action, and improved living standards for all and commits to:
- Adopt a coordinated approach to drive impactful action both at home and abroad
- Implement a Whole-of-Government Strategy to fully integrate the SDGs into national policies and initiatives, ensuring that each goal is actively pursued across all levels of government.
The Programme for Government also commits to supporting the work of young people to help their communities and support the SDGs.
Ireland’s Second National Implementation Plan (NIP) for the Sustainable Development Goals 2022-2024 was published on 5 October 2022. Implementation of the NIP is ongoing.
