These 17 Goals are based on the achievements of the Millennium Development Goals, although they include new areas such as climate change, economic inequality, innovation, sustainable consumption and peace and justice, among other priorities.
The SDGs entail a spirit of collaboration to choose the best options in order to improve life, in a sustainable way, for future generations. 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 SDGs address important causes of poverty and unite us to achieve positive change for the benefit of people and the planet.
