Newcastle 2040 and our ongoing engagement with the community shape our localisation of the goals, and we apply the ideals and intent of the SDGs throughout our organisation. The interconnectedness and integration of actions towards the SDG targets has influenced the development of themes, priorities and objectives in Newcastle 2040. The SDGs are significant and will take time to achieve. However, it is important to recognise the steps we are taking to progress these goals. While CN recognises the importance of all 17 SDGs, we have focused our efforts on the areas where we can have the most impact in our local communities.
