As a follow-up to our event on horizontal principles in December 2021 we would like to present the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to you.

Following Article 9(4) of the Common Provisions Regulation (CPR) and the Recital 5 in the Interreg Regulation, all programmes are expected to explain their contribution to the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including clear references to the targeted SDGs.

“The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.”
