SDG stands for Sustainable Development Goal.The Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate, environmental degradation, prosperity, and peace and justice. The Goals interconnect and in order to leave no one behind; they entail a spirit of collaboration and pragmatism to choose the best options in order to improve life, in a sustainable manner, for the generations to come.
They provide clear guidelines and targets for adoption by all countries in accordance with their own priorities and the environmental challenges of the world at large.
The 2030 Agenda is made up of 17 sustainable development goals and 169 points. They represent a new challenge for the international community to eradicate poverty, extend access to human rights, achieve sustainable global economic development that respects the planet and the resources it offers.
The UN General Assembly adopted in September 2015 the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, an action plan in favour of people, the planet and prosperity.
The objectives of this agenda are monitored through the organization SDSN: Sustainable Development Solutions Network and in Spain through REDS: Spanish Network for Sustainable Development.
