The Sustainable Development Goals, officially known as Transforming Our World (the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development) are a set of 17 goals set by the United Nations, mentioned in a United Nations General Assembly resolution on September 25, 2015 and on 1 January 2016, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals were included in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. These broad goals are interconnected, although each of them has its own specific small goals, representing 169 goals in total. The sustainable development goals cover a wide range of social and economic development issues (poverty - hunger - health - education - climate change - gender equality - water - sanitation - energy - environment - social justice).
In 2015 all UN member states adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, as a global call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030.
