Tiivistelmä
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development seeks to eradicate extreme poverty and to achieve sustainable development where the environment, economy and people are taken into account equally. The 2030 Agenda has guided the work on sustainable development in Finland and other countries since 2016.
This report describes the current state of Finland’s implementation of the 2030 Agenda, the actions taken by the Government to promote the Sustainable Development Goals, the policy principles guiding their implementation at the national level and the organisation, monitoring and evaluation of the implementation.
This report was drawn up under exceptional circumstances. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused major upheavals around the world, and its impact on Finnish society has been profound. The Government has introduced a variety of measures to protect the population and ensure the functioning and stability of society and the economy. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to major changes in the Government’s short-term economic policy agenda.
The programme of Prime Minister Sanna Marin’s Government (2019) is built on sustainable development. The Government Programme aims for an ‘Inclusive and competent Finland – a socially, economically and ecologically sustainable society’. The aim of the Government’s economic policy is to increase wellbeing and prosperity. This means ecologically and socially sustainable economic growth, high employment and sustainable general government finances.
The Government is implementing its vision of a socially, ecologically and economically sustainable Finland through several different strategic themes. The strategic themes also guide the Government’s work to achieve the goals of the 2030 Agenda.
The implementation of the 2030 Agenda is still under way, and we have yet to achieve the goals on a global scale. Progress has been made in many areas, but we need to speed up and scale up our actions if we want to achieve the goals by the envisaged deadline. We now have less than ten years left to achieve the common goals. Finland is committed to achieving the goals of the 2030 Agenda by 2030.
The overarching and cross-cutting theme of the 2030 Agenda is that no one will be left behind in the pursuit of development. The Government Programme stresses social responsibility, which means that we bear responsibility for each other and our common future. We want to make sure that everyone stays on board. Democracy and respect for human rights are the key conditions for achieving the objectives of the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals, both in Finland and globally.
