2. Relevance of urban local government in the SDG paradigm
2.1 Examination at the 2030 Agenda Document
Targets that directly mention local/urban issues are
8.9 (promotion of local culture and products)
11.3 (enhance inclusive and sustainable urbanisation)
11.6 (special attention to air quality and municipal and other waste
management), and
15.9 (integration of ecosystem and biodiversity values into local
planning).
A total of 14 means of implementation (MOI) targets contain the terms that
refer direct or indirect involvement of urban LGs
For the 'follow-up and review', the document commits and encourages
Member States to conduct regular and inclusive reviews of progress at the
national and subnational levels which are country-led and country-driven
(paragraphs 77 and 79, UN, 2015)
Therefore, the achievement of these goals and targets and their follow-up and
review at the national level would require the direct or indirect involvement of
urban LGs to ensure the central pledge of 'leave no one behind'.
