The SDGs define global priorities and aspirations for 2030 in areas that affect the quality of life of all the world’s citizens, now and in the future.
There are 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which represent an urgent call to action for all countries – developed and developing – for a global partnership. The SDGs recognise that the eradication of poverty and other deprivations must be accompanied by strategies to improve health and education, reduce inequalities, and boost economic growth, while combating climate change and preserving ecosystems.
Adopted by the 193 countries of the United Nations, these global goals aim to “leave no one behind” by establishing a common language for all stakeholders, setting sustainability targets focused on critical areas for humanity, and are structured around 5 principles: Planet, People, Prosperity, Peace, and Partnerships.
