Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

  

The SDGs or Global Goals are a collection of aligned goals which are a call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. The SDGs recognise 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. The SDGs often form the foundation for international social frameworks.
