Slovakia 2030

Slovensko 2030

The primary goal is to integrate the principles of sustainable development from Agenda 2030 into Slovakia's long-term strategic planning. This includes embedding the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into national priorities and formulating a Vision and Development Strategy for Slovakia by 2030. The main coordinating body is the Government Council of the Slovak Republic for Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development, chaired by the Minister for Investments, Regional Development and Informatization. Stakeholders include regional and local authorities, academia, business associations, non-governmental organizations, and citizens. The policy covers national and regional strategies, aiming to improve quality of life over economic growth. It targets all sectors affected by the SDGs, with a focus on education, economy, poverty reduction, social inclusion, sustainable settlements, rule of law, democracy, security, and health. The strategy involves a participatory process with a Quadruple helix approach, ensuring decision-making is shared among government, academia, private sector, and civil society. It emphasizes interlinkages between SDGs to maximize co-benefits and minimize trade-offs. Additionally, policies are designed to eradicate poverty and enhance social inclusion. This involves improving social protection systems, increasing access to affordable housing, and supporting marginalized communities. The strategy covers the period until 2030.
