Summary

Uruguay submits its fourth Voluntary National Review (VNR), upholding the commitment undertaken with the 2030 Agenda as part of United Nations (UN) member countries.
By means of the mentioned review, the country reports its current situation and main challenges in connection with the SDGs agreed for this year by the United Nations: SDG 1. “No poverty”; 2. “Zero hunger”; 3. “Good health and well-being”; 8.” Decent work and economic growth”; 10. “Reduced inequalities”; 12. “Responsible consumption and production”; 13. “Climate action”; 16. “Peace, justice, and strong institutions” and 17. “Partnerships for the goals”.
The so-called “Decade of Action” finds the world in a sanitary emergency context caused by COVID-19; Uruguay is not external to this situation and, therefore, this dimension unavoidably underlies this review, considering the effects that it has and will have on the development of public policies.
This document is a summary of the information contained in the current Voluntary National Review. As the VNR, the summary starts with the description of the methodology used, highlighting that the direct involvement of national public institutions concerning each area was promoted in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda at a national level.
