Voluntary Local / Subnational Review Database
Since its launch in 2018, the interest and commitment of cities and regions to develop a Voluntary Local Review (VLR) or a Voluntary Subnational Review (VSR) to review their progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) gained significant global momentum. To date, over 300 VLRs have been published by more than 200 local and regional governments around the world. This growing engagement highlights the transformative potential of VLRs in advancing the implementation of the SDGs across all levels of governance.
The VLR Database offers access to over 200 VLRs that address themes relevant to FAO’s mandate. Users can explore the database by location, theme, year, and language, making it a valuable repository of local practices and insights from diverse contexts worldwide.
