About SDGs
· Sustainable Development Goals
The Sustainable Development Goals (also known as the Global Goals) are a call to action for all countries, regardless of income, to promote prosperity while protecting the planet and leaving no one behind.
The SDGs recognize that ending poverty must go hand-in-hand with strategies that build economic growth and address a range of social needs including education, health, social justice, and job opportunities, while tackling climate change and environmental protection.
The SDGs are interconnected, yet each of the 17 goals has a separate list of targets to achieve by 2030. Achieving all 169 targets would signal accomplishing all 17 goals.
