NL – Sustainable Development, 2nd NAP

Introduction

“Since the publication of its first NAP, the Netherlands has also committed itself through the UN to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and has set itself the target of achieving all 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which make up the Agenda by 2030. The OECD Guidelines and the UNGPs offer businesses and states a framework for action to contribute to the SDGs. Alongside the NAP, the government has also published a National Action Plan on Human Rights. This plan explains how the government intends to protect and promote human rights in the Netherlands, its aims and priorities, and the role of other bodies, institutions and the general public.” p. 21.
