The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
The 17 SDGs are integrated: they recognize that action in one area will affect outcomes in other areas and that development must balance social, economic and environmental sustainability.
