InTRODUCTION
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member
States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the
planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing -
in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go
hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur
economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans
and forests.

Today, the Division for Sustainable Development Goals (DSDG) in the United Nations 
Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) provides substantive support and capacity-
building for the SDGs and their related thematic issues, including water, energy, climate, oceans, 
urbanization, transport, science and technology, the Global Sustainable Development Report (GSDR), 
partnerships and Small Island Developing States. DSDG plays a key role in the evaluation of UN
system wide implementation of the 2030 Agenda and on advocacy and outreach activities relating to
the SDGs. In order to make the 2030 Agenda a reality, broad ownership of the SDGs must translate
into a strong commitment by all stakeholders to implement the global goals. DSDG aims to help
facilitate this engagement.

Goal 1:poverty AND

everywhere

Poverty may cause disability through malnutrition, poor healthcare, and

dangerous living conditions. Case studies in developing countries show
that higher disability rates are associated with higher rates of illiteracy,
poor nutritional status, lower immunization coverage, lower birth weight,
higher rates of unemployment and underemployment, and lower
occupational mobility.

✖ Double the agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale

food producers, in particular women, indigenous peoples, family
farmers, pastoralists and fishers, including through secure and
equal access to land, other productive resources and inputs,
knowledge, financial services, markets and opportunities for
value addition and non-farm employment

3. Good Health and

 End preventable deaths of newborns and children under 5 years of
age, with all countries aiming to reduce neonatal mortality to at least
as low as 12 per 1,000 live births and under-5 mortality to at least as
low as 25 per 1,000 live births.
 4. Quality Education and promote lifelong
learning
Goal 4 aims to ensure that all people have access to quality education and the
opportunity for lifelong learning. The Goal goes beyond school enrolment
and looks at proficiency levels, the availability of trained teachers and
adequate school facilities, and disparities in education outcomes.
 5. gender equality and empower all
women and girls
Gender inequality persists worldwide, depriving women and girls of their
basic rights and opportunities. Achieving gender equality and the
empowerment of women and girls will require more vigorous efforts,
including legal frameworks, to counter deeply rooted gender-based
discrimination often resulting from patriarchal attitudes and related social
norms.
 6. sustainable management of water
and sanitation
Aims to tackle challenges related to drinking water, sanitation and hygiene
for populations, as well as to water-related ecosystems. Without quality,
sustainable water resources and sanitation, progress in many other areas
across the SDGs, including health, education and poverty reduction, will
also be held back.
 7. affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern 13

energy
Universal access to affordable, reliable and sustainable energy
services requires expanding access to electricity and clean cooking
fuels and technologies, as well as improving energy efficiency and
increasing the use of renewable energy. To achieve this Goal,
bolder financing and policies will be needed, along with the
willingness of countries to embrace new technologies on a much
more ambitious scale

8. economic growth, productive
employment and decent work
Economic growth is a principal driver of sustainable development.
When this growth is sustained and inclusive, more people can escape
poverty as opportunities for full and productive employment expand. To
allow future generations to benefit from today’s economic growth, such
growth should be environmentally sound and not the result of
unsustainable exploitation of resources.
 9. infrastructure, industrialization and 15

innovation
Infrastructure, industrialization and innovation are three drivers
of economic growth. When inclusivity, resilience and
sustainability are factored into the implementation of these
driving forces, economic growth can support sustainable
development.
