Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

The 17 U.N. Sustainable Development Goals are a universal blueprint for a better world. Adopted by all 193 U.N. member nations, these goals provide a roadmap to address the most urgent global challenges — from ending poverty and hunger to improving health, education, and climate action. The diplomatic and international efforts to achieve these goals by 2030 depend on global cooperation and are essential for peace and prosperity.
