The Viken County Council document discusses creating a policy planning system to promote the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in a holistic manner. It recommends using the SDGs as inputs to develop a reasoned list of planning priorities for the coming years. As a first step, the document suggests describing important regional development trends using local data related to all 169 SDG targets. The document also discusses gathering data and statistics on current regional development trends and challenges, and relating this data to both the SDG goals and targets. This data would form the basis of a "knowledge base" platform to guide evidence-based policymaking and planning.
