United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

In September 2015, all 193 member states of the United Nations unanimously adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals (17 SDGs). Over the next 15 years, the 193 member states of the United Nations will work together to eradicate poverty, achieve equality and combat climate change.

Leaders are determined to end poverty and hunger around the world between now and 2030; to end inequalities within and between nations; to build peaceful, just and inclusive societies; to protect human rights and promote gender equality and empower women and girls; and to permanently protect earth and its natural resources. Meanwhile, they are determined to create conditions for sustainable, inclusive and sustained economic growth where prosperity and decent work are shared for all, taking into account the different levels and capacities of countries.

Taking into account the different national circumstances, capacities and levels of development of each country, this agenda is recognized by all countries and is applicable to all countries. All goals are universal, specific and indivisible, taking into account the three dimensions of sustainable development.

Strategies for developing cultural and ecological integration need to enhance the core values of sustainable development, respect for present and future generations, respect for differences and diversity, respect for the environment, respect for the earth's resources, and improve our ability to address the environment and its development.
