National Report 2020

In the Czech Republic, the key instrument for accomplishing the Implementation Plan for the New Urban Agenda is the umbrella strategic document Czech Republic 2030. Its aim is improving the quality of life, sustainable in social, economic, as well as environmental terms. The document also covers housing and urban development. There are numerous linked subordinate sectoral and thematic strategies. Implementation of the New Urban Agenda emphasizes in particular involvement of a broad spectrum of relevant partners and ongoing monitoring of performance on the goals and commitments ensuing from other international documents.

The New Urban Agenda represents one of the instruments for meeting the sustainable development goals under Agenda 2030, especially Goal 11 (Sustainable cities and settlements). Progress in performing on this Goal is also regularly monitored and evaluated. Making the cities and municipalities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable will continue to be the Czech Republic’s priority.
