Five voices, One Vision - Five Finnish Voluntary Local Reviews submitted in 2025

In an era where sustainable development is more crucial than ever, Voluntary Local Reviews (VLRs) have emerged as a powerful tool for cities and local governments. VLRs enable communities to assess their progress towards achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at a local level. By conducting these reviews, municipalities can identify strengths, address challenges, and share best practices with other cities around the world. 

Finnish cities and municipalities have produced a total of 17 VLRs. On this page there are links to the five Finnish VLRs submitted in 2025 by the Cities of Helsinki, Espoo, Tampere, Vantaa and Turku.
