Summary/Abstract: In September 2015 in New York, member states of the United Nations adopted the document „Transforming our world: Agenda for Sustainable Development – 2030”, containing 17 goals for sustainable development. The Agenda sets common goals for all UN member states. Finland wants to become a leader in implementing Agenda 2030, referring to a long tradition of sustainable development. The state has created a model that arouses general interest. Its main distinguishing feature is society’s commitment to sustainable development. This procedure provides organizations and active citizens with the opportunity to independently strive to achieve the goals of sustainable development. It is a practical and rare tool for serving implementation of the Agenda 2030 at the national level.
