The four countries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (Aruba, Curaรงao, the Netherlands and St Maarten) report jointly to the United Nations High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development.
The point of the SDGs is producing tangible results that improve peopleโs lives. The Netherlands has chosen an ambitious approach to implementing the SDGs, based pragmatically on existing policies and institutions. Tasks are assigned to all the ministries concerned and coordinated by the Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation. An SDG working group with representatives from each ministry has been established and meets regularly. It is chaired by a specially appointed high-level coordinator for national SDG implementation, assisted by a small secretariat.
