The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the
Global Goals, were adopted by the
United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end
poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by
2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
In simple words:
'SDGs depends on 3P i.e. People, Profit and Planet.'
Goals: 17
Targets: 169
Member Nations: 193
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.
These 17 Goals are an inclusive agenda:
Goal 1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere
Goal 2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition
and promote sustainable agriculture
Goal 3. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all
at all ages
Goal 4. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and
promote life-long learning opportunities for all
Goal 5. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and
girls
Goal 6. Ensure availability and sustainable management of
water and sanitation for all
Goal 7. Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and
modern energy for all
Goal 8. Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic
growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all
Goal 9. Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and
sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
Goal 10. Reduce inequality within and among countries
Goal 11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe,
resilient and sustainable
Goal 12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
Goal 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its
impacts
Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and
marine resources for sustainable development
Goal 15. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial
ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and
reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss
Goal 16. Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable
development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable
and inclusive institutions at all levels
Goal 17. Strengthen the means of implementation and
revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.
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 systemwide 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.
