The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or Global
Goals are a collection of 17 interlinked global goals designed to be a
"blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for
all".[1] The SDGs were set up in 2015 by the United Nations General
Assembly (UN-GA) and are intended to be achieved by 2030. They are
included in a UN-GA Resolution called the 2030 Agenda or what is
colloquially known as Agenda 2030.[2] The SDGs were developed in the
Post-2015 Development Agenda as the future global development
framework to succeed the Millennium Development Goals which ended in
2015.
The 17 SDGs are: (1) No Poverty, (2) Zero Hunger, (3) Good Health and
Well-being, (4) Quality Education, (5) Gender Equality, (6) Clean
Water and Sanitation, (7) Affordable and Clean Energy, (8) Decent Work
and Economic Growth, (9) Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, (10)
Reduced Inequality, (11) Sustainable Cities and Communities, (12)
Responsible Consumption and Production, (13) Climate Action, (14) Life
Below Water, (15) Life On Land, (16) Peace, Justice, and Strong
Institutions, (17) Partnerships for the Goals.
