The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, and provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries in global partnership. The goals recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests. With only 15% of the Global Goals on track to be achieved by 2030, the UN is highlighting some of the proudest achievements of 2023 to show what is possible with the right resources, solutions, and determination. There is still time to turn things around and make the changes the world urgently needs.
