Coalition 2030 is a multisectoral partnership of over 70 civil society and trade union organisations in Ireland. As a network, we critically assess Ireland’s progress on the Sustainable Development Goals, both nationally and globally; we encourage the government to adopt open and participatory Sustainable Development Goal monitoring and implementation; and we support our members in their efforts to advance sustainable development.

A coalition is a group of people or organisations from different political or social groups, who are co-operating to achieve a particular aim. Here are some testimonials from Coalition 2030 members reflecting on the value of being part of Coalition 2030.
