Abstrakt
The Slovak Republic has committed to contribute to fulfilment of 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) defined by the Agenda 2030. Even though the reflection of this global commitment to the Slovak context was performed at the national level, numerous studies confirm that local level, represented by municipalities, cannot be ignored. Slovak municipalities enjoy quite diverse portfolio of competencies including the waste management and environmental protection. While the tools aimed at implementation of the competences remain often unclear. Therefore, the main objective of the research was to find out whether the tools the municipalities operate can be considered sufficient when addressing Slovak priorities in SDGs’ implementation on the local level in the area of waste management and environmental issues. The main method used were content analysis and critical analysis. The most significant ability of Slovak municipalities seems to be in influencing topics of waste management, transportation (mobility) but also circular economy. Out of the identified tools, legal tools, partnership and information and communication tools were those that can be most utilized. Overall, the analysis proved the readiness of Slovak municipalities to contribute to SDG’s fulfilment in the given areas.
