Transforming our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
The SDGs are A set of 17 goals for the world s future, through 2030 Backed up by a set of 169 detailed Targets Negotiated over a two-year period at the United Nations Agreed to by nearly all the world s nations, on 25 Sept 2015
What is new and different about the 17 SDGs? First, and most important, these Goals apply to every nation and every sector. Cities, businesses, schools, organizations, all are challenged to act. This is called Universality
Second, it is recognized that the Goals are all inter-connected, in a system. We cannot aim to achieve just one Goal. We must achieve them all. This is called Integration
And finally, it is widely recognized that achieving these Goals involves making very big, fundamental changes in how we live on Earth. This is called Transformation
We acknowledge also the importance of the regional and sub-regional dimensions, regional economic integration and interconnectivity in sustainable development. Regional and subregional frameworks can facilitate the effective translation of sustainable development policies into concrete action at national level. (2030 Agenda) Regions
