Mission & Goals
SDG Watch Europe is an EU-level, cross-sectoral alliance of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), including Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs) with a focus on development, the environment, human rights, social rights and other sectors. The ambition and goal is to hold governments to account for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, specifically in regards to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our goal and challenge as European Civil Society is to make the Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a reality. Making sure we reach all Sustainable Development Goals and targets, within Europe and globally. The SDGs can only be fully achieved with active and broad-based civil society engagement. CSOs will need to advocate for the policies required, raise awareness of goals and targets amongst the general public, monitor progress in implementing the SDGs and push for action where needed (watchdog role).
