Easier for Swedish municipalities to implement Agenda 2030
ICLD is partner for “Glokala Sverige,” which is a communication and education project on Agenda 2030 for politicians and officials in municipalities and regions throughout Sweden. Through this collaboration, ICLD will provide funding and opportunities to work towards achieving the Global Goals through our municipal partnership programme and its international cooperation.
Would you like to learn more about the Global Goals?
ICLD has developed a digital education to give you an “Introduction to Agenda 2030.” The education will provide information about the Sustainable Global Goals, how you can use it to create a more sustainable world, and links to where you can learn more about the goals. The trainings were developed in collaboration with Statistics Sweden.
