Suwon's Efforts to Achieve Sustainable Development Goals Shared Worldwide

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] A UN 2030 SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) implementation report has been published to share Suwon City's efforts to achieve sustainable development goals with domestic and international audiences.

The Suwon Sustainable Development Council held a production report conference on the 5th at 1:00 PM in the main conference room on the first floor of Deo-ham Park to commemorate the publication of the sustainable development publication, and delivered the UN implementation report to Suwon City.

The report titled "2020 Action-The Implementation of the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals in Suwon," which was primarily produced by the Suwon Sustainable Development Council, was published in English with the participation of 11 writers comprising researchers and professors from the Suwon Research Institute for Municipal Administration and experts from various fields.

The publication introduces Suwon City's implementation status of sustainable development goals, divided into three sectors: economy, society, and environment. It also includes monitoring of Suwon's governance policies and connections to the UN SDGs, as well as major evaluation indicators.

This includes Suwon's efforts by sector toward a carbon-neutral city for implementing sustainable development goals from 2015 to 2019, efforts for employment safety and safe working environments, and efforts to achieve a resilient and sustainable city.

In particular, this UN implementation report is expected to be posted on the UN SDGs Knowledge Platform through ICLEI, serving to inform domestic and international cities of Suwon's sustainable development efforts.

The Suwon Sustainable Development Council also delivered four volumes of the "Suwon 2030 Sustainable Development Case Study Collection" at today's report conference.

After a production period of nearly four years since 2018, the "Suwon 2030 Sustainable Development Case Study Collection" in four volumes, completed last month, introduces 45 exemplary sustainable development cases of Suwon City.

You can find Suwon City's major sustainable development cases linked to 10 major goals including climate change response, biodiversity, water circulation, food, and employment.

At today's report conference, Suwon Mayor Yeom Tae-young, National Sustainable Development Council Secretary General Yang Jun-hwa, ICLEI Korea Office Director Park Yeon-hee, and Wuman Comprehensive Welfare Center Director Hwang Jae-gyeong held a "Talk Time" engaging in free discussions about sustainable development.

Meanwhile, today's report conference, held with only the minimum number of attendees due to the spread of COVID-19, will be made public to citizens through the Suwon Sustainable Development Council's YouTube channel in the future.
