Sitoumus2050 - Commitment 2050
Society's Commitment to Sustainable Development is a key instrument for implementing the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Society's Commitment to Sustainable Development is a shared long-term vision of the Finland we want to have in the future. In order to reach the objectives detailed in Society's Commitment to Sustainable Development, different operators, such as companies, municipalities, organisations, administration, educational institutions, and local actors make operational commitments. Private individuals can also make operational commitments. The Finnish National Commission on Sustainable Development and its general secretariat are responsible for establishing the commitments. All the commitments are made available to the public in the online service commitment2050.fi. When making a commitment, the operator sets goals, indicators and a schedule for the commitment. Operational commitments should create something new, be measurable and follow the principles of the sustainable development. The commitment can be attached to one or more of the Society's Commitment's eight goals, which include all 17 Sustainable Development Goals
