SDG Club

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), outlined in the "2030 Sustainable Development Agenda" adopted by world leaders at the historic UN summit in September 2015, officially commenced on January 1, 2016. These goals, which are inclusive and universal, commit countries to the principle of "leaving no one behind" over the next fifteen years. Sustainable development, as defined by the agenda, is development that meets present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The SDGs aim to transform our world, addressing issues ranging from health and gender equality to education, mobilizing global efforts to eradicate poverty, combat inequalities, and mitigate climate change.
