Alignment with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) The City Development Plan recognises that its policies and objectives can support the achievement of SDGs, and consequently assigns particular significance to the SDGs. Objective 2.1 ‘United Nations Sustainable Development Goals’, the Plan’s first numbered objective, commits Cork City Council to integrating the SDGs and the National Planning Framework’s National Strategic Outcomes (NSOs) into its land use planning and management. The Plan structure of 9 Strategic Objectives and 364 specific development objectives is framed to support the SDGs. Paragraph 2.7 sets out that the Plan is designed to ensure Cork City can play its role in supporting the delivery of the SDGs while paragraph 2.11 clarifies that the Plan’s 9 Strategic Objectives connect directly to the SDG’s and the 10 NSOs. The tables on pages 16-18 of the Plan set out how the 9 Strategic Objectives align with the SDGs. The City Development Plan sets out how its strategic objectives and themed chapters align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While SDGs are not normally considered in progress reports on development plans, it is useful to consider how the Plan policies and objectives contribute to progressing SDGs at the local level. Appendix 3 comprises a high-level strategic policy review on how the City Development Plan has contributed over the past two years to achieving the SDGs at a local level.
