Cities play a key role in implementing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and need clear roles and responsibilities on regional policy issues. Transparency, sufficient access to information, and coordination between all stakeholders in the sustainable development of communities are required for the cities to take the needed action. This survey reports that Austrian cities are becoming increasingly aware of the SDGs and have voiced the intention to implement them. Although this is a positive development, most have taken little effective action so far. Explicit action remains to be taken by local, regional, and federal governments to implement the SDGs.
