The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
The 17 SDGs are integrated — they recognise that action in one area will affect outcomes in others, and that development must balance social, economic and environmental sustainability.
Countries have committed to prioritise progress for those who are furthest behind. The SDGs are designed with ultimate goals to end poverty, hunger, and discrimination against women and girls.
The creativity, knowhow, technology and financial resources from all corners of society is necessary to achieve the SDGs, to help build a brighter future for all of us who share this planet.
