Voluntary National Review 2025 FINLAND, Report on the Implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

This report is Finland’s review of its progress in implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This is the third time that Finland is submitting a VNR to the UN. Scientific and expert evidence form the basis of the report, including the analyses of progress made on each of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. These are presented in the statistics annex produced by Statistics Finland.

Finland’s report has been prepared with a whole-of-society approach, meaning that the Government has invited people and actors to contribute in various ways. The report therefore includes material such as assessments produced by individuals, non-governmental actors or independent authorities. These texts have not been edited by the Government, nor is the Government responsible for their content. 

The report emphasises that Finland is strongly committed to achieving the SDGs by 2030 and to continuing sustainability work both nationally and as an international partner. The report reveals many interlinkages that, in the long run, will show whether progress in sustainable development is taking place. Finland has been assessed to have reached approximately 86 per cent of the SDGs, but it is still far below the level of its ambition with respect to some crucial issues.
