A Sustainable Development Framework for Uniting Our World: United Nations 17 Goals for People and Planet...

UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and improve the lives and prospects of everyone, everywhere (UN, 2021). Seventeen SDGs were adopted by all UN Member States in 2015, as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development; embarking on a 15-year plan to achieve these Goals.

SDGs were developed to “Transform Our World,” and are a call for action by all countries – poor, rich and middle-income – to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. They recognize that ending poverty must go hand-in-hand with strategies that build economic growth and address a range of social needs including education, health, social protection, and job opportunities, while tackling climate change and environmental protection.

More important than ever, the SDGs provide a critical framework for COVID-19 recovery and are meant to provide a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all (UN, 2021).
