Syria's status across the 17 SDGs, as assessed in this VNR.
The Government of the Syrian Arab Republic presents this Voluntary National Review (VNR) for the year 2024, reflecting its ongoing commitment to the United Nations’ (UN) 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SD). Building on the first review submitted in 2020, this report demonstrates Syria’s efforts to integrate sustainable development principles into national policies and priorities, despite extraordinary challenges. These include years of conflict, unilateral coercive measures, foreign occupation, and natural disasters, most recently the earthquake of 6 February 2023. The government has emphasised inclusive development, participation of civil society, academia, private sector actors, and local authorities, while ensuring alignment with national reconstruction plans and the principle of leaving no one behind. Syria continues to focus on strengthening institutional frameworks, rebuilding communities, and fostering economic, social, and environmental resilience.
