2. 1
A global challenge: a big opportunity
The 2030 SDGs of 2030 Agenda, are an Action Plan for the countries to reduce Poverty, disequity and to guarantee a
sustainable and durable development.
Sustainable development meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet
their own needs: Leaving no one behind
The SDGs refers to concrete questions or actions of our life
Related to economic, social, environmental and istitutional thematics
Three are the principle to follow: universality, integration, partnership
A Global Challenge, but also a big opportunity, for the National Statistical System, for the Countries, for Regions
and Cities, for each of us

3. 2
Istat and SDGs indicators
o What we measures affects what we do
o Istat and Sistan have a crucial role for the production of statistical information to monitoring 2030 Agenda for
Italy of the National Strategy.
o Integrate global prospective, concrete progressive approach:
o Partecipation: sinergy among national statistical istitution (Ispra, GSE, Iss, Mattm, Maeci, MEF, ...), and international (Fao, Unodc,
Unesco, …), coherence with BES
o Statistical Measures and methodological approach, analyses, monitoring …

Goal 10
Italy is experiencing a profound change in the migratory phenomena that interest it. After the age of
labor migrations, the last few years have been characterized by an increasing relevance of incoming
flows of asylum seekers and international protection
As for integration indicators, the growth of people with a long-term permit continues. In 2017, instead, a
decrease in the number of citizenship acquisitions was registered for the first time after a decade of
constant growth (-26.4%)
Acquisitions of citizenship of non-EU citizens

Goal 2, Goal 6, Goal 14 and Goal 15
Goal 2
In agriculture, the area of organic
crops keep growing (+71%, 2010-
2017) while…
At the same time, however, ammonia
emissions are increasing, back to the
level of 2010, and the use of fertilizers
does not decrease
Goal 6
342 municipalities (1.4 million inhabitants, equal to
2.4% of the total population) without any urban
wastewater treatment.
Goal 14
In Italy, the surface area of marine protected
areas is equal to a total of 3,020.5 km2. Three
quarters of the protected areas are in Sardinia,
Sicily and Tuscany.
Marine protected areas EUAP- Year 2013 (Km2)
Goal 15
Land consumption is still on the riser (14 hectares per day in
2017). 7.65% of the national territory is sealed by artificial
surfaces, but almost 40% has a high degree of
fragmentation, due to the proliferation of physical barriers
produced by urbanization

Goal 3, Goal 5 and Goal 16
Goal 3
In 2017 a newborn is expect to live 58.7 years in good health in Italy. The rate increases more
among women compared to 2016 (+ 2.7 years), but the disadvantage compared to men in
terms of quality of survival remains. More marked the territorial inequalities, with about 4 years
expected to live in good health more in the North comparing to the South and Islands.

Goal 5
The presence of women in economic, decision-making and political places is increasing. However
the presence continues to remain low. The proportion of seats held by women has increased in most
EU countries. Italy has experienced the greatest growth between 2008 and 2018

Goal 7
Potenziamento delle fonti energetiche rinnovabili
target delle politiche europee e italiane
Dopo il rallentamento segnato tra il 2013 e il 2015,
nel 2017, torna a crescere Il contributo delle FER ai
consumi di energia complessivi, ma non per
l’energia elettrica
Quota di consumi coperti da rinnovabile molto
elevata in Valle d’Aosta (quasi 90%), Bolzano,
Trento, Calabria, Molise e Basilicata
Goal 11
Continues to decrease the share of municipal waste sent to landfill: from half until
2008 to less than a quarter in the last two years (23.4% in 2017)
Significant regional differences
GHG emissions by production activities and GDP (Italy, 1995-2016)
Index numbers on base year 1995.
Goal 13
In Italy, hazardous events are intensifying, also due to climate change, with
disastrous multi-risk cascade events: landslides, floods, forest fires, extreme
climatic phenomena, heat waves, water deficits.
The fragility and mismanagement of the territory, the poor maintenance and
obsolescence of the infrastructures aggravate the human, economic and
environmental losses.
In 2017, 10.4% of the population was exposed to flood risk, 2.2% to landslide.
Temperature anomalies levels increased 1.30 °C compared to 1961-1990.
Peaks in the impacts of forest fires in 2007, 2012 and 2017.
Italy also subject to seismic and volcanic events, with greater losses where
territory and infrastructure are more fragile and vulnerable. 2016 was a year of
high seismic intensity.

Istat-Sistan SDGs platform makes possible SDGs analyses and monitoring at national and subnational level:
 Istat will follow the UN-IAEG-SDGs indicators analysis using an inter-institutional approach, developing the
methodological innovations that are necessary for the statistical production
 Istat will follow the dissemination of statistical measures to increase and to update the SDGs Istat platform and the Report
of statistical analysis
 A Global Challenge, big opportunities for the Country, for Sistan, for each of us: increasing sustainability awareness of
the sistemic integrated and concrete vision.
