Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what progress has been made by Government Departments on the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals.

The UK played a key role in establishing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and we are determined to be at the forefront of delivering them - both at home and around the world. All Government Departments have embedded the SDGs in their planned activities, supported by the Single Departmental Plan process. Departments will report progress on their planned activities in their Annual Reports.

Furthermore, the Government will present a Voluntary National Review of the UK’s progress towards the SDGs at the UN in 2019. We are committed to an inclusive process, and have launched a website inviting input from people and organisations around the UK. The website can be found at: www.gov.uk/sustainabledevelopmentgoals.
