THE SDGs IN LA

Los Angeles stands at the forefront of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) movement in its city-wide effort to align plans and goals to the SDGs, while mobilizing stakeholders at the goals' intersections. The City of Los Angeles is one of the first cities to report SDG data at the indicator level using the Open SDG platform. In July of 2019, the City of Los Angeles published its first Voluntary Local Review, highlighting the City's efforts across eight key global goals.

THE GLOBAL GOALS

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), otherwise known as the 2030 Agenda, are a group of 17 goals and 169 targets. The SDGs build on the success of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and were drafted and adopted at the UN General Assembly in 2015. The SDGs aim to address social inequality, economic growth, environmental preservation, among other global development challenges. In 2015, the United Nations established the 2030 Global Agenda for Sustainable Development consisting of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These goals address the social, environmental and economic issues that societies face in today’s world. While formulated for national governments, subnational groups worldwide have attempted to adopt the SDGs in planning, implementing, and monitoring. Los Angeles stands at the forefront of this movement in its city-wide effort to align plans and goals to the SDGs, while also mobilizing multi-stakeholder initiatives at the goals’ intersections.
