The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 interconnected objectives that were adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015 as a blueprint for achieving a better and more sustainable future for all. The SDGs cover a range of social, economic, and environmental issues including poverty, hunger, health, education, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, affordable and clean energy, decent work and economic growth, industry innovation and infrastructure, reduced inequalities, sustainable cities and communities, responsible consumption and production, climate action, life below water, life on land, peace, justice and strong institutions, and partnerships for the goals. The SDGs aim to tackle the root causes of these challenges by addressing their interconnections and promoting sustainable development, leaving no one behind.
