SDGs Budgeting and Reporting

The chapter provides an overview of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) budgeting and reporting in the public sector context. It does so by presenting the relevance of SDGs for public administrations, summarising recent literature on the topic and providing a snapshot of the state of the art in selected European countries in a comparative perspective. The chapter reveals that SDGs budgeting and reporting are progressively expanding, from central to local level, mainly based on the willingness of public sector entities to communicate to all stakeholders their efforts to contribute to a more sustainable society.
