Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 4 February 2021
261. Deputy Marc Ó Cathasaigh asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if his Department’s new statement of strategy will support the implementation of the sustainable development goals; if specific goals and sub-targets have been identified as being particularly relevant to his Department's work; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6217/21]
View answerThere is a whole-of-government approach to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDG National Implementation Plan 2018-2020 assigned my Department as the lead or joint lead Department on a number of Goals. The targets associated with these Goals are published in the SDG National Implementation Plan 2018-2020.
These targets will be reflected in my Department’s new Statement of Strategy and will therefore support the implementation of the SDGs.
