Implementation of SDGs in Russia: Challenges and Achievements

The priorities of sustainable development remain relevant even in a difficult period of external restrictions and sanctions pressure for Russia. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of measures have been taken to lay the foundation for long-term growth. The policy to build the foundations for long-term sustainable development continues – in 2024, a new cycle of work to achieve national development goals began with a presidential decree – a Unified Plan for their achievement was adopted, existing state programs and national projects are being finalised and new ones are being launched. In this article, the current measures of the Russian Federation‘s public policy are reviewed for compliance with the goals and objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2030 Agenda). The author analyses strategic planning documents and national projects of the Russian Federation, as well as the dynamics of statistical indicators in the key areas of sustainability – social, economic and environmental.
