[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kang Sharon] Gimhae City in Gyeongnam announced on the 18th that it has established the Gimhae-type Sustainable Development Goals (G-SDGs) together with its citizens.

The Gimhae-type Sustainable Development Goals have the vision of "Tomorrow Made Together, a Happy City to Live in, Gimhae" and are linked with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. They consist of 17 sustainable development goals, 57 strategies, and 201 unit tasks, including △a city without economically vulnerable groups △a healthy city together △a dynamic economic city full of jobs △an ecological environment city where nature breathes.

The city has responded to the international community's efforts toward sustainable development and, for the sustainable future of Gimhae citizens, started with a roundtable discussion of 100 citizens in November 2018. Over the past year, it collected opinions from various stakeholders through workshops with the Sustainable Development Council and others, and finally established the Gimhae-type Sustainable Development Goals.

Going forward, under the goal of jointly achieving the Gimhae-type Sustainable Development Goals, the city plans to strengthen horizontal collaboration between departments and projects, monitor the implementation process together with the Sustainable Development Council members, and operate a public-private cooperative governance system that guarantees broad participation in regional governance.
