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.

“Almost 10% youth unemployment in Austria at <strong>the</strong> start<br />
of 2021. Therefore, it is those initiatives which produce<br />
opportunities specifically for young people<br />
with difficult social backgrounds, that are so<br />
important. In this regard, it is particularly important<br />
<strong>to</strong> focus on inclusion, diversity and<br />
special education in order <strong>to</strong> streng<strong>the</strong>n<br />
humanitarian and democratic aspects<br />
in society in <strong>the</strong> long term.”<br />

“The rich do not have <strong>to</strong> invest enough in<br />
<strong>the</strong> poorest countries <strong>to</strong> make <strong>the</strong>m rich;<br />
<strong>the</strong>y must invest enough for <strong>the</strong>se countries<br />
<strong>to</strong> climb <strong>the</strong> first step on <strong>the</strong> economic ladder.<br />
Economic development works. It can be successful.<br />
And it tends <strong>to</strong> build on itself, but <strong>to</strong> do that, it has <strong>to</strong><br />
get going first.”<br />
