Report on the SDGs progress in 100 Spanish cities

The Spanish network of Sustainable Development (REDS) published last Tuesday 16 October the report “Looking to the future: sustainable cities. The Sustainable Development Goals in a 100 Spanish cities”.

The report analyses the progress of the main cities in the peninsula and the achievement of the SDGs in a 100 cities (including all the provinces’ capitals and the twelve metropolitan areas with a city centre of 80 000 inhabitants or more), which represent approximately the 50% of the population in the Spanish State. In the case of the Barcelona demarcation, the cities that appear are:  the cities of Badalona, Barcelona, Cornellá de LLobregat, Hospitalet de LLobregat, Mataro, Sabadell, Sant Boi de Llobregat, Sant Cugat Del Vallés, Santa Coloma de Gramanet and Terrassa.

The report identifies, for each of the cities and for each SDG, a series of quantitative indicators allowing evaluating the accomplishment, and for which data at the local level from official sources exists in the whole State. From this indicators’ proposal, a picture of the state of affairs emerges, allowing an approximation to the reality of the municipalities today in terms of sustainable development.

The report is a very interesting proposal of the collection of indicators at the local level, and is a useful tool that provides real statistical elements that can be used as a reference to adequate the municipal policies to the SDGs.
