Sustainable Development Goals

 In September 2015, the General Assembly adopted the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development that includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs). Building on the principle of “leaving no one behind”, the new
Agenda emphasizes a holistic approach to achieving sustainable
development for all..
 These 17 goals are the world’s best plan to build a better world for people
and our planet by 2030. Adopted by all United Nations Member States in
2015, the SDGs are a call for action by all countries – poor, rich and middle-
income – to promote prosperity while protecting the environment.
 The SDGs seek to reconcile economic growth, environmental balance and
social progress, ensuring that all people have the same opportunities and can
lead a better life without compromising the planet.
