Ongoing debates
Towards achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, Cyprus is implementing a project in cooperation with the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) aiming towards a whole-of-government approach in implementing a sustainable Development Agenda and at a stronger partnership with all stakeholders. Next steps include among others:
-
A broader awareness around the SDGs within the Cypriot society, involvement and commitment of all stakeholders. An online platform has been launched for this purpose – www.initiative2030.gov.cy (available only in Greek).
-
The training of government employees to contribute to the implementation of the national SDG strategy.
-
A pioneering educational program for children with activities for each of the 17 SDGs.
