Sustainable development goals

In 2015, the United Nations (UN) set the 2030 agenda for Sustainable Development. There are seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that the UN identified as needing immediate attention. The SDGs are an urgent call to action for all of the member countries, whether they are developing nations or not. This is a global partnership that understands achieving goals such as goal #1, ending poverty, and other deprivations are interconnected with strategies that work to improve education and health, incite economic growth, and reduce inequality, while also working to preserve our oceans and forests and taking on climate change. There is not a goal that can be achieved without improvement in all of the goals or without all UN countries doing their part. A list and description of all seventeen SDGs can be found down below.
