SDG toolkit for municipalities

A toolkit on the implementation of the SDGs for municipalities was published in May 2021. Its purpose is to guide municipalities on how they can contribute to the implementation of the SDGs in Iceland. The toolkit was prepared on behalf of the government’s working group on the SDGs in close cooperation with the Icelandic Association of Local Authorities and the cooperation platform between the state and local authorities on the SDGs.

The toolkit is based on foreign models along with examples from Iceland and lays out five steps that are intended to guide municipalities when working systematically towards the implementation of the SDGs. This is not an exhaustive list of actions for municipalities to implement the SDGs. Instead, it is intended to propose ways and give ideas for practical methods of approaching the goals, to connect with municipal goal setting, and promote sustainable development in daily activities.
