My Department's Statement of Strategy 2021- 2023 was published in recent weeks and sets out six Strategic Goals to provide focus for the work of my Department over the coming three years. In achievement of these Goals, my Departments approach, as confirmed in the Statement of Strategy, will also focus on the realisation of the commitments within the remit of the Department as set out in the National Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Implementation Plan. My Department also collaborates across Government on matters relating to same and is a member of the Inter Departmental Group on the SDGs.
