EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Executive Summary The Ban Ki-moon Centre for Global Citizens (BKMC) focuses on the implementation of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in and by Austria and since 2018 established a close collaboration with the Austrian Federal Chancellery (BKA) to advance these goals and to further strengthen Austria’s pioneerrole in the international sphere. In line with this commitment, the following publication is aimed at the general public with the key objective of spreading knowledge and awareness about the SDGs. More than ever, we are facing multiple global challenges and it is the responsibility of all of us to work together towards a better future for all. The 2030 Agenda provides us with a valuable roadmap in this regard. Leading up to 2030, it is crucial to reflect not only on multifold past achievements in Austria, but also to look to the future: We must maintain a respectful dialogue and the engagement of all stakeholders to achieve these common goals. The second Austrian Voluntary Review (VNR) on the SDGs, which will be presented at the UN in 2024, is being prepared since 2023 with wide spread stakeholder involvement in Austria. This publication does not claim to be a comprehensive or an official implementation report, but is intended as complementary to the VNR, offering motivational perspectives on Austria’s SDG work. It is the diversity of interlocking processes that enriches the extensive SDG implementation in Austria. Thus, this publication highlights in particular milestone activities, best practice examples and initiatives from 2019 to 2023. The publication first provides an overview of the processes and approaches to SDG implementation in Austria and outlines Austria’s current implementation status by analysing relevant rankings and indices. This is followed by the main section which is divided into a national, European and international chapter. 12
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In the national chapter, Austria’s SDG engagement is presented in five areas: (1) dialogue with civil society and multi-stakeholder events, highlighting in particular the outcomes of the SDG Dialogue Forums 2021 and 2022, (2) dialogue with academia and business, with particular attention to the UniNEtZ Report and RespACT, (3) dialogue with federal states and municipalities, (4) dialogue with culture and education, and (5) dialogue with politics, presenting the Austrian parliament’s engagement. The next two chapters show best practice examples and key initiatives on European and international level, such as the “Local Councillors for Europe” initiative, the “Next Generation is Female” series, or the “Kofi Annan Award for Innovation in Africa”. Each chapter is accompanied by guest comments from experts who provide unique insights into each topic. For each SDG, guiding quotes from significant personalities are spread throughout the publication. 13
