The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 global goals established by the United Nations in 2015, aimed at addressing major global challenges such as poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace, and justice, to be achieved by 2030. They represent a universal plan for a more equitable, resilient and sustainable society, planet and economy by 2030. Achieving the SDGs by 2030 requires redirecting both public and private sector investment towards the targets and new solutions at scale.
