In 2015, the United Nations (UN) adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be achieved by 2030, which are specified by 169 sub-goals and for whose "measurement" indicators are also named. This agreement has been ratified by almost all UN member states. The Federal Republic of Germany has also used it as the basis for the sustainability strategies formulated in 2016 and 2021. Since the SDGs are also aimed at municipalities, "SDG indicators for municipalities" were developed in 2017 at the instigation of the German Association of Cities. The aim is to support municipalities in managing their sustainable development performance. However, these indicators already pose major challenges for municipalities, as they are predominantly non-financial indicators whose measurement and impact assessment is difficult. This article presents an overview of possible instruments and approaches for integrating the SDGs into municipal results management (performance and financial management).
