Sustainable Development Goals
A set of sustainability goals released by the United Nations in 2015 as a successor to the Millennium Developing Goals. Officially known as ‘Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development’.
193 countries have agreed to contribute to the realization of 17 Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. The goals aim to tackle social and environmental challenges, such as climate change, promotion of clean energy, extreme poverty, gender equality and sustainable agriculture.
SDGs differ from the Millennium Development Goals in that they call on the private and public sectors, together with the signatory governments, to cooperate closely in order to tackle the most serious issues facing people and the planet.
