Title Sustainable Development Goals in Vienna and Budapest: The Framework and Attributes of Local Governance
Summary Sustainable development has emerged as a key solution to various economic, social and environmental challenges. To achieve sustainability, policies need to be implemented at all levels of government, and responsibilities vary depending on the structure of the state. There is an ongoing debate in the world of International Relation on which governance structure is the most progressive in terms of sustainable development. This paper examines how different local government institutions approach sustainable development through a comparative case study analysis of Budapest and Vienna’s institutional and governance structure. The findings established that the core drivers of progressive subnational policy implementation on sustainable development include an extensive policy framework, central government support and strong commitment.
