Austria Ranks 6th Globally in SDG Commitment
Austria has secured the 6th position in the global SDG ranking, reflecting its steadfast commitment to sustainable development. The country has been engaged in this pursuit for many years and continues to do so through its current government program (2025-2029). This dedication is evident in its integration of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into all political and administrative activities.
The 2030 Agenda, comprising these 17 SDGs, was adopted by all 193 UN member states in 2015. Austria marks this adoption annually on September 25 with 'SDG Flag Day', raising awareness of the agenda and reaffirming its commitment. In Austria, SDG implementation is goal-oriented, efficient, and self-responsible, permeating all levels of political and administrative activity.
The SDG Dialog Forum, held on October 23, 2025, provides a platform to discuss challenges and options for SDG implementation up to 2030 and beyond. Austria's second voluntary national report on SDG implementation, released in 2025, highlighted the need for further action and additional efforts to achieve the 2030 Agenda goals by the target year.
Austria's 6th place in the global SDG ranking is a testament to its successful engagement in SDG implementation. With its commitment to the 2030 Agenda, annual SDG Flag Day celebrations, and platforms like the SDG Dialog Forum, Austria continues to strive towards a sustainable future. However, as acknowledged in its national report, there is still work to be done to fully achieve the SDG goals by 2030.
