Abstract

The implementation of the sustainable development goals requires the coordinated activities at all levels of government and administration, including the regional level. The Sverdlovsk Region, one of the leading regions of the Russian Federation, actively uses the mechanisms of the strategic management in making the socio-economic policy, however, the coordination of the traditional strategic priorities and goals of sustainable development of the UN is required. Comparison of the SDGs and strategic policy directions implemented in the Sverdlovsk region made it possible to identify three groups of SDGs: highly reflected in strategic documents, partially implemented and not yet reflected in making a regional strategy. Despite the high level of coordination of the SDGs and the strategic objectives of the region, there are the problematic areas, including the activities to combat poverty and gender policy.

Highlights

  • In 2015, the UN General Assembly adopted the Agenda for Sustainable Development until 2030, containing 17 sustainable development goals aimed at the balanced development of the three basic components of society's development - the economy, social sphere and solving environmental problems

  • Since 2014, since the entry into force of the provisions of the Federal Law "On Strategic Planning in the Russian Federation" [2], the strategy of socio-economic development adopted at the level of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation has become the fundamental document of the regional level, integrating the strategic priorities of the region

  • The analysis showed that the strategic priorities and directions of the socio-economic policy of the Sverdlovsk region are largely correlated with the priorities of the SDGs, the structuring of goal-setting in the Strategy of the Sverdlovsk region differs significantly from that adopted in the SDGs
