The UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a collection of 17 global goals intended to be achieved by 2030 - designed to be a "blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all". They seek to promote prosperity while protecting the planet - recognising that ending poverty must go hand-in-hand with strategies that build economic growth and address a range of social needs including education, health, social protection, and job opportunities, while tackling climate change and environmental protection. Key to success if recognizing that "progress in one goal can both depend on and unlock progress in another - and interconnected goals require an interconnected approach". In Scotland, the SDGs are localised and implemented through the National Performance Framework (NPF).
In Perth and Kinross, the Community Plan/Local Outcome Improvement Plan aligns with and helps deliver both the NPF and the SDGs. View the Sustainable Development Goals and Community Plan/LOIP linkages. (PDF, 373 KB) .
Our progress towards each of the 17 goals has also been assessed using a number of performance indicators, available through the Perth and Kinross Council Quality of Life Dashboard.
