Austria's Commitment to the 2030 Agenda
Guided by the BKMC's mission to foster leadership for the Sustainable Development Goals, we have been closely collaborating with the Austrian Federal Chancellery since 2018 to advance the implementation of the SDGs in and by Austria. On the margins of the UN High-Level Political Forum 2023, we are very proud to launch the Ban Ki-moon Centre for Global Citizens publication “Austria’s Commitment to the 2030 Agenda”. The publication covers national, European, and global efforts to implement the SDGs. Against the backdrop of multiple crises, it is now more important than ever to find global solutions based on cooperation, partnership, and sustainability. Dive into our report and check out milestone activities, good practice examples, and initiatives of SDG implementation in Austria from 2019 to 2023.

17 goals for a better world<br />
How can we have a more constructive<br />
political discussion and orientate ourselves<br />
better <strong>to</strong>wards sustainability? This question<br />
for personal exchange. An information<br />
sheet on <strong>the</strong> current SDG is placed on each<br />
seat, including <strong>the</strong> content-related links <strong>to</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> parliamentary activities.<br />
led <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> creation of <strong>the</strong> core team of<br />
MPs at <strong>the</strong> Austrian National Council who<br />
wanted <strong>to</strong> integrate a holistic approach of<br />
<strong>the</strong> Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)<br />
in<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> parliamentary activities.<br />
Unlike <strong>the</strong> formal committees of <strong>the</strong><br />
National Council, this format promotes<br />
cross-party cooperation and interdisciplinary<br />
consideration - in line with <strong>the</strong> 17<br />
SDGs for a better world.<br />
Toge<strong>the</strong>r with <strong>the</strong> experts from <strong>the</strong> SDG<br />
partner universities of UniNetz and <strong>the</strong><br />
President of <strong>the</strong> Austrian National Council,<br />
a format was developed <strong>to</strong> make <strong>the</strong> SDGs<br />
visible and accessible <strong>to</strong> all MPs. Since <strong>the</strong><br />
summer of 2022, an SDG has always been<br />
displayed in <strong>the</strong> lounge of <strong>the</strong> Austrian<br />
National Council at <strong>the</strong> plenary sessions.<br />
The selection of contents is up <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
responsible MP, <strong>the</strong> form is diverse, from<br />
posters <strong>to</strong> interactive modules. Experts of<br />
<strong>the</strong> relevant partner university are available<br />
