The 2030CATALYSTS project will equip 20 regions with knowledge and tools to implement the SDGs through tailored, place-based strategies. The project will enable regions to refine their approach to SDG monitoring and achievement, incorporating them into their unique regional contexts.

The selected regions will have the opportunity to exchange knowledge and data-driven strategies. Participants can expect to:

  • Access scientific expertise on SDG implementation and monitoring;

  • Collaborate with experts, partner institutions, and other regions;

  • Learn from JRC best practices and quantitative analyses;

  • Establish themselves as sustainable development leaders.
