Les villes jouent un rôle central dans ce processus de localisation, en alignant les plans locaux, en mobilisant les ressources, en impliquant les parties prenantes, en suivant les progrès et en encourageant l'innovation pour cultiver des environnements urbains durables et inclusifs. Après avoir élaboré deux rapports nationaux volontaires (RNV) en 2019 et 2021, la Tunisie s'est engagée à localiser les ODD pour une meilleure appropriation locale et régionale et un soutien de l'Agenda 2030. |
