In September 2015, the leaders of United Nations’ 193 member states adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (“Transforming our World”), a universal agenda containing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The SDGs were selected after the largest public consultation in the UN’s history, resulting in 17 interlinked global objectives for reducing inequality, protecting the planet, and paving the way toward a prosperous and more sustainable future for all.
The 17 goals, which comprise 169 targets and 230 indicators, are intended to be achieved by 2030.
