Local Government Actions on Sustainable Development Goal 11 in the Republic of Korea

Back Active Start date: 01.07.2018 Website

ACTIVITY INFORMATION

What we are doing

Although our local governments are regarded as one of the most crucial actors and administrative units for the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals, especially Goal 11 (Make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable), most of the local governments are not really aware of the global goals nor have a proper institutional structure for the implementation. The ultimate goal of this initiative is to lead Korean local governments to develop their own goals, implementation, and monitoring structure for SDGs, starting with Goal 11, so that the citizens and local people feel direct and positive impacts of SDGs, leading communities to be more happy, resilient, and sustainable.

What we are achieving

ICLEI initiated this partnership to attract the attention of ambitious local governments in South Korea and give them a platform to share their efforts and accomplishments on the targets of Goal 11. ICLEI is gathering the efforts of Local Governments in South Korea on implementing SDGs and delivering related projects to leverage the effectiveness of the dispersed efforts and actions by combining and reporting them on the UN SDGs Knowledge Platform. By focusing this initiative on Goal 11, ICLEI provides the map of the implementation of Goal 11 in South Korea, and highlights leading local governments to inspire others to join.
