Report launch: Beyond, behind or along
Beyond, Behind and Along

The event focused on the presentation and discussion of the report: "Beyond, Behind or Along? How European cities make the Leave no one behind principle operational in mission statements, policies and budgets" produced by the JRC in the framework of the URBAN2030-II project. 

This report contributes to the evidence base on how European local governments operationalize the Leave No One Behind (LNOB) principle in their Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) strategies. This is done considering how 24 local governments have been addressing vulnerable groups between 2015 and 2022. Local policies targeting vulnerable groups, their monitoring and budgeting are assessed against criteria designed referring to up to date LNOB literature developed by practitioners, institutions, and academia.

The event was hold online on 21 October 2022 (10.00am - 11.30am) via Webex.
