Delivering the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s)
Cities tell stories of society and civilisation, and Bristol is no different. It is part of our pioneering nature to actively play our part in global issues. We are a city ready to make actions speak louder than words, and ready to grow but not at any cost. As such we have made an ambitious commitment to accelerate progress towards carbon neutrality and a commitment to delivering the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in our 2050 One City Plan.
In Bristol, the One CityPlan provides an important vehicle for harnessing our shared efforts towards progress on these vital goals. To facilitate this delivery, the One City Plan is mapped against the SDGs and contains actions and initiatives that will contribute towards the local and global delivery of these goals. Thanks to support from the Cabot Institute for the Environment at the University of Bristol, Bristol has become a global leader on local SDGs adoption. Delivering these goals will continue to put our citizens at the heart of plans for growth.
“Bristol is a shining light nationally and internationally as somewhere that is taking meaningful action on the UN SDGs. Cities will be needed to meet the SDG agenda and Bristol is at the forefront.”
David Donoghue, Former Irish Ambassador to the United Nations
