Municipal and citizen engagement for the SDGs

What is the best way to bring the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) closer to the population as a real-life necessity and to integrate them into people’s everyday lives? The Colombian city of Manizales faced this question and found its way through a Connective Cities learning process – with the help of many suggestions from the international community of practice. The results included an SDG Week in Manizales in mid-2021 and the preparation of a report on the local implementation of the SDGs. Other cities like Bonn also benefited from the exchange.
