Sustainable Development Goals
What are the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are embedded within the UN’s 2030 Agenda. This is an ambitious 15-year strategic vision that uses the 5-Ps:
- People: End poverty and hunger in all forms and ensure dignity and equity
- Prosperity: Ensure prosperous and fulfilling lives in harmony with nature
- Peace: Foster peaceful, just and inclusive societies
- Partnership: Implement the agenda through a solid global partnership
- Planet: Protect our planet's natural resources and climate for future generations
as a blueprint for the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The UN’s transformative vision calls for a just, equitable, tolerant, open, and socially inclusive world in which the needs of the most vulnerable are met and no one is left behind.
