The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 global goals that were adopted by the United Nations in 2015. The SDGs aim to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure peace and prosperity for all people by 2030. The goals are interconnected, meaning that progress in one area can have a positive impact on other areas. The SDGs cover a wide range of issues, including poverty, hunger, health, education, gender equality, water, energy, the environment, and economic growth. The SDGs are universal, meaning that they apply to all countries and stakeholders, and they are intended to be integrated into national and local development plans. The SDGs are monitored and reviewed through a set of indicators, and progress towards achieving the goals is reported on regularly.
