The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 goals adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. These goals are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people have the opportunity to live peaceful and prosperous lives.
The SDGs cover a wide range of interconnected issues, including poverty, hunger, health, education, gender equality, water, sanitation, energy, the environment, and economic growth. The goals are interdependent and ambitious, and they require the cooperation and efforts of governments, civil society, the private sector, and individuals around the world to achieve.
The SDGs are also known as the Global Goals, and they aim to build on the successes of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which were a set of eight goals adopted by the United Nations in 2000 to address the world's most pressing development challenges. The SDGs are more comprehensive and ambitious than the MDGs, and they seek to address the root causes of poverty and inequality, rather than just the symptoms.
Overall, the SDGs are a vision for a better, more sustainable future for all, and they provide a framework for countries to work towards a more sustainable and equitable world.
