Abstract: This report analyses the experience of Italian municipalities monitoring the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), using the Sustainable Municipalities Network’s indicator set. In particular, the report explores the ways in which Italian municipalities have been involved in the identification of data sources to locally monitor the SDGs. It synthetises how those data have been analysed and how the results have been disseminated. The report also describes how the indicator set has been defined, tested and under which conditions a similar experience could be replicated in other European countries. The analysis covers both the implementation of the Sustainable Municipalities Network’s indicator set and the local contribution to the achievement of the SDGs in the Italian municipalities of the Network. According to the results, the Network of Sustainable Municipalities was able to involve in the monitoring of SDGs a number of local administrations that were not yet localising the SDGs. From the point of view of the contents of the 2030 Agenda, the 24 analysed municipalities achieved good results with respect to the localisation and progress toward the achievement of the goals. The report was compiled by an external expert to the European Commission as part of the URBAN 2030-II project developed by the Joint Research Centre to support local governments in monitoring the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
