On 25 September 2015, all 193 UN Member States adopted “Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”. At its heart are 17 shared goals for people, planet and prosperity.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
The goals build on the Millennium Development Goals (2000–2015) and came into effect on 1 January 2016. They are integrated: action in one area affects outcomes in others, and development must balance social, economic and environmental sustainability.
