What are the Sustainable Development Goals?

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), otherwise known as the Global Goals, are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity.

These 17 Goals build on the successes of the Millennium Development Goals, while including new areas such as climate change, economic inequality, innovation, sustainable consumption, peace and justice, among other priorities. The goals are interconnected – often the key to success on one will involve tackling issues more commonly associated with another.

Goal 1: End all poverty in all its forms everywhere.

Goal 7:Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.

Goal 13:Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.

Goal 2: End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.

Goal 8: Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable ecomonic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.

Goal 14: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for development.

Goal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.

Goal 9:Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation.

Goal 15:Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems.

Goal 4: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities.

Goal 10: Reduce inequality within and among countries.

Goal 16: Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development.
