What are the 17 SDGs?

The United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030. Adopted by all UN Member States in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, these goals build on the success of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and aim to address a broader range of sustainable development issues.

The 17 SDGs are as follows:

    Specific targets and indicators accompany each goal to measure progress. The SDGs are interconnected and address sustainable development’s social, economic, and environmental dimensions. They recognize that eradicating poverty must be accompanied by strategies that promote economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental protection.

    Achieving the SDGs requires collective action and collaboration among governments, civil society, the private sector, and individuals worldwide. The goals provide a framework for addressing pressing global challenges and building a more sustainable and equitable future for all.
