2030 Agenda: a powerful tool, but the proof is
in the pudding (careful not to burn it)

Implementing the 2030 Agenda and SDGs:
tailor-made or one size fits all?
SDGs – a global yardstick with global dimensions:
• Universal agenda, valid for all
countries
• 17 common goals, 169 common
targets, common indicators
• Challenges that require global,
cross-border solutions
• Cross-country comparisons and
periodic reviews at the
international level

Strong public backing, but will the SDGs get
lost in translation?
83% of Swiss population
support development aid…
… to secure a sustainable future for all
… to show solidarity with the world’s poor
But:
• 2030 Agenda is not legally
binding for national strategies
on sustainability
• National monitoring
mechanisms defined by
national indicators and
measurements
• SDGs need to be adapted to
country-specific circumstances
• SDGs are not very clear

Most SDG targets are too ambiguous
Source. http://www.icsu.org/publications/reports-and-reviews/review-of-targets-for-the-sustainable-development-goals-the-
science-perspective-2015
Out of the 169 targets, 49 (29%) are considered well developed,
120 targets (71%) could either be strengthened by being more
specific or require significant work.

The Swiss approach: start the ascent from
bottom up
1. Translate SDG targets for Switzerland
( National Sustainability Strategy)
2. Assess what Switzerland is already
doing ( Baseline Report)
3. Identify gaps and actions
( Gap Analysis and
Recommendations)
SDG implementation nationally and internationally:
• National: Goals that Switzerland intends to realize in Switzerland
• International: Goals that Switzerland supports with contributions abroad

Key success factors SDG implementation
for Switzerland
• Successful implementation when:
• SDG targets have been «translated» for
Switzerland
• Swiss contribution to SDG indicators is incorporated
• Responsibilities in relevant government agencies are
clearly defined and agreed
• Policy coherence across government agencies
• Call for action, based on recommendations
• Key challenge:
• SDG implementation is a project for all of Switzerland,
not just the Swiss government
COMMUNICATIONS & ENGAGEMENT ARE KEY !!

SDG communications in four languages
and in “plain language”
Sustainable Development Goals (EN)
Nachhaltige Entwicklungsziele (DE) Objectifs du développement durable (FR)
Obiettivi di sviluppo sostenibile (IT)

Key questions for discussion
• How do you turn a government-led SDG process to a broad-based SDG
movement?
• How do you incorporate stakeholder contributions in the implementation of
the SDGs?
• How do you ensure policy coherence between domestic and international
policies (e.g. trade policy, migration, domestic tax incentives, etc.)?
• What are effective Whole-of-Government communications strategies?
• How are international development priorities addressed in SDG
communications at the national level?
• How can we benefit from peer-to-peer learnig networks such as DevCom?
