In September of 2015 193 world leaders ratified to 17 global targets for sustainable development. If these goals are met they will be a sign of a halt to extreme poverty as well as climate change, inequality, and inequality by 2030.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) also referred to as the global objectives, are a call to action that aims to eliminate poverty, safeguard the environment and ensure that everyone can are able to enjoy peace and prosperity.
The 17 UN SDGs build upon the achievements in those of the Millennium Development Goals, while adding new areas like economic inequality, climate change as well as sustainable consumption, innovation and peace and justice in addition to other goals. These goals are interlinked and frequently the key to achieving one goal is to tackle issues that are often connected to the other.
The SDGs operate in the spirit of collaboration and pragmatism in order to make most appropriate choices now to improve our lives by ensuring sustainability for the next generation. They offer precise guidelines and targets that all nations can adopt according to their individual goals and the environmental issues that face the world in general. The SDGs are an inclusive program. They address the main reasons for poverty and tie us to create an impactful change for humans and the environment. “Poverty elimination is the primary goal of 2030’s Agenda and the same is the pledge to ensure that no one is left in the dust in the process,’ UNDP Administrator Achim Steiner stated. The Agenda presents a unique chance to set the world on an improved and sustainable development track. Many ways, the Agenda mirrors the purpose for which UNDP was established to serve.’
