Voluntary National Review 2020 FINLAND Report on the Implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

Finland submitted its first Voluntary National Review to the United Nations in 2016, among the first Governments. In that report, Finland presented its preparedness to take serious action to implement the 2030 Agenda by introducing the institutional mechanisms, tools and plans that were already in place or needed to be established. It also highlighted Finland’s baseline in relation to the SDGs and described where the biggest strengths and weaknesses in the implementation lied. The first VNR was a useful report in compiling all the ideas and plans into one document providing a future roadmap. In addition, it served as an effective tool to communicate on the 2030 Agenda throughout society. In this report, Finland is following the guidelines by the United Nations as regards the structure and headlines of the report. The core content of the report includes the sciencebased analysis on the progress on goals and targets (Chapter 6) where all the 17 SDGs and 169 targets are assessed. This assessment will give a very detailed picture of Finland’s performance in the implementation: where we have succeeded and where there are gaps to overcome.
