SDGs & Local Authorities – Policy Recommendations
Everyone has a role to play in supporting Ireland’s progress towards the SDGs. Ireland’s National Implementation Plan (NIP) for the SDGs identifies the crucial role that Local Authorities have to play in translating the SDGs into practical action at local level.
The NIP identifies the Local Community Development Committees (LCDCs) and the Strategic Committees (SPCs) as well as local plans as being especially well placed to integrate the SDGs into their activities.
In this short policy paper Social Justice Ireland sets out a series of concrete actions, spanning all 17 SDGs, that could included by Local Authorities and their LCDCs & SPCs in their development plans.
