Italy is committed to the 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the National Sustainable Development Strategy (NSDS).The NSDS represents the strategic framework to promote economic, social and environmental development in Italy. Established to ensure a prosperous and resilient future for current and future generations, the NSDS coordinates initiatives at national and local level, promoting partnerships among central and sub-national institutions, government agencies, non-governmental organisations, companies and citizens, in order to develop innovative and sustainable solutions. The ultimate goal is to create a more equitable and inclusive society, where every individual can enjoy a high level of well-being without compromising resources and opportunities for future generations.

To this aim, the NSDS identifies strategic choices and national objectives along six areas of intervention, the so called “5Ps”, plus a Sustainability Vectors area, that includes the “enabling conditions” for NSDS implementation: "Policy Coherence for Sustainable Development" (V1), "Culture for Sustainability" (V2) and "Participation for Sustainable Development" (V3). They are designed to trigger authentic transformative paths together with central and sub-national administrations, territories and society. The National Action Plan for Policy Coherence for Sustainable Development (PCSD NAP) is an integral part of the NSDS, setting out an incremental path to mainstream sustainability as a standard for decision-making. Furthermore, the NSDS process ensures a Forum for sustainable Development. The Forum was launched in 2018 and currently includes more than 300 organizations. It was built as a structured and ongoing space for dialogue and exchange with non-State actors, civil society and experts, aiming at assuring their involvement in NSDS implementation processes. The NSDS also promotes the inclusion in the process of the academic and research sector, by funding projects aimed at improving the territorial sustainable development processes.

We invite public administrations, civil society organizations and non-state actors to participate in this event and to register your sustainable development project to become part of this European initiative!


L'Italia è impegnata nell'attuazione dell'Agenda 2030 e dei suoi 17 Obiettivi di Sviluppo Sostenibile (SDGs) attraverso la Strategia Nazionale per lo Sviluppo Sostenibile (SNSvS). La SNSvS rappresenta il quadro strategico per promuovere lo sviluppo economico, sociale e ambientale in Italia. Istituita per garantire un futuro prospero e resiliente alle generazioni presenti e future, la SNSvS coordina le iniziative a livello nazionale e locale, promuovendo partenariati tra istituzioni centrali e sub-nazionali, agenzie governative, organizzazioni non governative, imprese e cittadini, al fine di sviluppare soluzioni innovative e sostenibili. L’obiettivo è creare una società più equa e inclusiva, in cui ogni individuo possa godere di un elevato livello di benessere senza compromettere le risorse e le opportunità per le generazioni future.

A tal fine, la SNSvS individua scelte strategiche e obiettivi nazionali articolati in sei aree di intervento, le cosiddette “5P”, a cui si aggiunge l’area dei Vettori di Sostenibilità, che comprende le “condizioni abilitanti” per l’attuazione della Strategia: "Coerenza delle politiche per lo sviluppo sostenibile" (V1), "Cultura per la sostenibilità" (V2) e "Partecipazione per lo sviluppo sostenibile" (V3). Queste sono concepite per innescare autentici percorsi di trasformazione insieme alle amministrazioni centrali e sub-nazionali, ai territori e alla società. Il Programma d’Azione Nazionale per la Coerenza delle Politiche per lo Sviluppo Sostenibile (PCSD NAP) è parte integrante della SNSvS e delinea un percorso incrementale per integrare la sostenibilità come standard nei processi decisionali. Inoltre, il processo della SNSvS prevede un Forum per lo Sviluppo Sostenibile. Il Forum, avviato nel 2018, conta attualmente oltre 300 organizzazioni e rappresenta uno spazio strutturato e continuativo di dialogo e confronto con attori non statali, società civile ed esperti, con l’obiettivo di garantire il loro coinvolgimento nei processi di attuazione della SNSvS. La Strategia promuove anche il coinvolgimento del mondo accademico e della ricerca, finanziando progetti volti a migliorare i processi di sviluppo sostenibile a livello territoriale.

Invitiamo le amministrazioni pubbliche, le organizzazioni della società civile e gli attori non statali a partecipare a questo evento e a registrare il proprio progetto di sviluppo sostenibile per diventare parte di questa iniziativa europea!
