Summary/Abstract: The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are various 17 integrated global Goals for the environment, society and economy, which were adopted by the United Nations Member States in 2015. Higher public awareness is crucial for successful implementation of integrated SDGs both on national and global levels. The main subject of this paper is public awareness regarding the SDGs 17 in Republic of North Macedonia, while the aim is to identify citizen’s awareness and to differentiate homogeneous groups. On the relevant data basis (the survey method has been used in the sample of 1.200 respondents), the cluster analysis is performed using the Ward clustering method, dividing the sample into three different clusters (homogeneous groups). According to the characteristics of each cluster, policy and decision-makers could develop strategies and measures to increase the SDGs awareness of the population in the Republic of North Macedonia.
