What are the SDGs?

In 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals were approved at the UN to end poverty, protect the planet and improve the lives of people all over the world.

193 countries are part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which sets out a plan of 17 goals to be achieved by 2030.

These 17 goals are integrated. What does this mean? Actions in one area will affect others.

Everyone’s help is needed to achieve the goals and make the world a better place.
