  • Local Governments and Municipalities: Play a crucial role in implementing SDGs at the community level, tailoring actions to local needs and contexts.

International Cooperation:
Greece actively participates in international cooperation to promote sustainable development globally:

  • Development Assistance: Providing financial and technical support to developing countries to help them achieve the SDGs.
  • Bilateral and Multilateral Partnerships: Collaborating with international organizations and countries to advance the global SDG agenda.

Greece Human Development Index (HDI) | Human Development Report

Thirty years ago, UNDP created a new way to conceive and measure progress. Instead of using growth in GDP as the sole measure of development, we ranked the world’s countries by their human development: by whether people in each country have the freedom and opportunity to live the lives they value.
