Sustainable Development Goals
The Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all.
How It Works
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), outlined by the UN in 2015, have been adopted by nearly every country in the world. They are the blueprint to help countries and organizations partner together to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all and to be able to universally measure that progress along the way.
These interconnected, 17 goals address challenges faced globally, including ending extreme poverty; giving people better healthcare; and empowering women, girls, and other vulnerable populations. In order to leave no one behind, it is important that we achieve them all by 2030.
