Alessandra de Renzis

This document outlines previous analyses conducted by the Tuscany Region regarding the Sustainable Development Goals and territorial strategies. It discusses evaluations of the estimated impact of ERDF strategies on well-being, the drafting of a regional sustainable development strategy, and partnerships with the JRC and other research institutions. Examples of data platforms are provided and methodologies for relating regional policies and projects to the SDGs through indicators are described, including case studies of specific urban and inner area strategies. Next steps focus on further indicator analysis, participatory processes, and research on the potential effects of inner area strategies on local development and quality of life.
