The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was unanimously adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015. It serves as a collective framework for achieving peace and prosperity for both people and the planet, now and into the future. The agenda is centred around the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which require immediate action from all nations, regardless of their level of development. These goals acknowledge the interconnectedness of poverty eradication, healthcare and education improvement, inequality reduction, economic growth, climate change mitigation, and the preservation of our oceans and forests.
