In 2015, the Sustainable Development, or Global Goals, were adopted by the 193 United Nations member states with the landmark 2030 Agenda. These goals are a universal call to action by all countries – rich, poor, and middle-income – to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that every human being enjoys peace and prosperity by 2030.

The 2030 Agenda and the SDGs are ultimately about what makes us human, and are a roadmap to building a sustainable future in the world with care and compassion for each other, and care and compassion for the Earth.
