This publication, a joint work of Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM), host of SDSN Italy and Associazione italiana per il Consiglio dei Comuni e delle Regioni d’Europa ( AICCRE ), aims to chart the path that Italian local authorities have taken in recent years and which results they have achieved by applying the principles of the UN 2030 Agenda in their missions, which includes the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the National Sustainable Development Strategy (in Italian, Strategia Nazionale per lo Sviluppo Sostenibile ).

The publication will be presented in New York at the United Nations High-Level Political Forum (HLFP) during the session SDG Solutions to Rethink the City on July 6, 2022 and during the session Fostering the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals from the local level towards the 2023 SDG Summit of the HLPF Special Event Fifth Local and Regional Governments Forum on the 2030 Agenda on July 7, 2022.Voluntary Subnational/Local Reviews (VSRs or VLRs) are tools with which Local and Regional Governments can report on their overall progress, setbacks, opportunities and challenges associated with achieving the subnational government level SDGs in a given country. More information about VLRs/VSRs can be found online.
