Adopted by United Nations (UN) Member States in 2015, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) offer countries a blueprint towards achieving the shared goal of peace and prosperity. The Voluntary National Review (VNR) of the SDGs is the main avenue for countries to review their progress towards the SDGs.
Singapore presented our first VNR in 2018. Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu will present our second VNR in July 2023 at the UN High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development to share the progress we have made since 2018!
As a small island city-state with limited natural resources, sustainable development has been a cornerstone of Singapore’s development. We continually look for innovative policies and practices to promote sustainable development and improve the well-being of our citizens.
We look forward to sharing our experiences and contributing to the global conversation on realising the SDGs at our 2nd VNR.
