The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the center of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which was adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 as an urgent call to action by all countries. The 17 SDGs are a set of priorities and aspirations to guide all countries in tackling the world’s most pressing challenges. The SDGs are integrated and indivisible, balancing the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. (Adapted from the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development)
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals are defined in a list of 169 SDG Targets. Progress towards these Targets is agreed to be tracked by 232 unique Indicators. See the SDG Tracker for more information.
