The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 goals that the United Nations adopted in 2015 to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all people. 

What are the SDGs? 

The SDGs are a global call to action that apply to all countries.

They are based on values like equity and respect for human rights.

The SDGs are also known as the Global Goals.

The SDGs are interconnected, so progress on one goal contributes to progress on others.

The SDGs have indicators to measure progress.

Some examples of SDGs:

Goal 2: Zero hunger by 2030 

Goal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all 

Goal 5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls 

Goal 7: Ensure universal access to affordable, reliable, and modern energy services by 2030 

Goal 13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts 

Why are the SDGs important?

The SDGs are important because they help us meet present needs without compromising the future needs of future generations.
