The SDSN Italia SDGs City Index Two Years Later: Update Report

Abstract

After two years from the publication of the SDSN Italia SDGs City Index (FEEM, 2018), the following Report presents data updated to 2020 as the Italian capitals of provinces are concerned, proposing a comparison of them, where possible and subjected to appropriate methodological considerations, after two years.

Through the collection of data for 103 Italian municipalities-capitals of provinces, and based on 46 elementary indicators about 16 out of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the following Report intends to be a tool to increase the awareness of civil societies on the sustainability level of their territories, and at the same time to support local administrators in their decision making, providing not only a screenshot of their cities’ distance to the targets of the 2030 Agenda, but also a comparison, if possible, among performances in a two-year timeframe.
