The sustainable development goals are deeply interrelated. It is important to find measures to promote the attainment of several goals at once. To address environmental issues and to achieve a more sustainable national economy, we need capacity for rapid social reforms and long-term decision-making that spans beyond terms of government. Recent initiatives in the circular economy and the green economy show that a will for reform exists.
The UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was launched in the beginning of 2016 and Finland aims to be among the leading countries in its implementation. The Avain2030 project of the Finnish Environment Institute and Demos Helsinki identified the pain points and success stories of sustainable development in Finland based on international comparisons and stakeholder views. This policy brief presents the key findings and policy recommendations. The policy brief was written in collaboration with Kaskas Media.
