Abstract

This chapter explores the implementation of sustainable development goals (SDGs) in two European geographical regions – the Baltic and Scandinavian states. It compares the practices of these regions in meeting the United Nations’ sustainability agenda and ensuring the welfare of communities, businesses and the planet. Using secondary data (provided by Eurostat and European Commission) it examines the shifts in their sustainability performance from 2015 (the year the SDGs were introduced) to 2022. Drawing upon the green innovation theory through the lens of Europe’s green transition strategy, it specifically investigates how the two European regions meet SDG 13 (climate action) through building resilient infrastructure, promoting inclusive and sustainable industry and transport, fostering innovation and reducing pollution through green technology initiatives. Results point to some between and within the region differences, which are discussed in this chapter in more detail.
