The year 2030 is fast approaching – the year when the world will have achieved the 17 global goals for sustainable development. Sweden was high in the rankings when the work began in 2016, but international comparisons shows that goal achievement has barely increased since then. Despite stated high ambitions from the government, Sweden is falling behind, and the question of whether Sweden will actually reach the global goals is becoming increasingly relevant.
The Swedish National Audit Office, an independent authority that audits the state, presented its audit of the Sweden's work on Agenda 2030. It points to shortcomings in the government's governance and coordination of implementation. If the goals are not achieved on time, important parts of the 2030 Agenda risk remaining unfulfilled – with consequences for people, the environment and Sweden's role in global development.
What and why are Sweden's work on Agenda 2030 lacking? How does Sweden's implementation of the agenda affect other parts of the world? What needs to change in the work in order to meet the goals?
Welcome to a conversation where we explore Sweden's Agenda 2030 work together with
Arvid Segerstrom, Efficiency auditor and project employee in National Audit Office review
and
Parul Sharma, human rights lawyer and former chair of the government's Agenda 2030 delegation
