What are the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?

Created by the United Nations (UN) in 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals are a global call to action to end poverty, protect the environment, and ensure that the entire world can enjoy peace and prosperity while living in harmony with the environment.

⠀

There are a total of 17 goals divided into 169 targets, which make up the global agenda for tackling the main development challenges by building and implementing public policies that aim to guide humanity towards a more sustainable world by 2030.
