Abstract:
After the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development in September
2015, the implementation phase began at
national, regional, and global levels, in
which all countries have a crucial role, and
their valuable support advance the world on
a path to the sustainable future we want.
Hungary presents its Voluntary National
Review (VNR) at the UN High Level
Political Forum on Sustainable
Development for the first time in 2018. The
review is a stocktaking exercise, providing
a comprehensive overview of the different
national policies, strategies, initiatives, and
best practices which further the
achievement of the SDGs within and
outside the country. It also gives a broad
picture of where we stand in the process of
moving forward to achieve sustainable
development (SD).
Our country has a firm and longstanding
dedication to contribute at all levels to the
ambitious realization of the universal
framework of the 2030 Agenda, and is
committed to strengthening international
cooperation to ensure its accomplishment.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development offers an inspired response to
the greatest challenges of our time. The
implementation of the overarching Goals of
the framework to eradicate poverty in all its
forms and dimensions, to create inclusive
and resilient societies, and to ensure
sustained economic growth while
respecting the planetary boundaries and
leaving no one behind is of utmost
importance for our country in order to boost
the prosperity and wellbeing of its citizens
in a sustainable way, ensuring a safe and
peaceful environment. When nationalizing
this new, transformative vision, Hungary puts great emphasis on the most vulnerable
and the furthest behind, as well as on the
aim of strengthening solidarity, both at the
national and global level, while remaining
committed to the renewed Global
Partnership to maximize international
cooperation for a hunger-free world
