State Budget and the Sustainable Development Goals: an opportunity for better budgeting?

Noemia Goulart and Rui Dias

No 02/2023, CFP Occasional Papers from Portuguese Public Finance Council

Abstract: The United Nations General Assembly adopted the 2030 Agenda, which unites the efforts of all countries to achieve sustainable development by that year with 17 development areas and an equal number of universal objectives - the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Implementing the necessary public policies in this regard requires instruments such as the national budget to take these goals into account. Budgeting for the SDGs (B4SDG) has thus emerged as an instrument for better budgeting, promoting the incorporation of these goals systematically and across the board in government decisionmaking. This text presents the state of the art about the implementation of budgeting for the SDGs and its framework in the budgetary process in Portugal, and the information available on the realisation of the SDG targets.
