SPP IN ACTION

POLICY AND STRATEGY

In 2020, Aalborg Municipality adopted our first Sustainable Goals Strategy. The Sustainable Goals Strategy focuses on areas such as climate, resources, biodiversity, and inequality. The purpose of the World Goals Strategy is to ensure a development in Aalborg Municipality that is both economic and environmentally sustainable as well as socially just.

The Sustainable Goals strategy will be an overall umbrella that can bring together the work that is already underway, strengthen the efforts going forward and ensure that it reaches further into the organisation.
