Sustainability

2015 will go down in history as the year in which the 2030 Agenda was defined, comprising 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The 2030 Agenda is a broad and ambitious agenda that addresses several dimensions of sustainable development (social, economic, environmental) and that promotes peace, justice and effective institutions. The Sustainable Development Goals are based on progress and lessons learned from the 8 Millennium Development Goals, established between 2000 and 2015, and are the result of joint work by governments and citizens around the world. The 2030 Agenda and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals are the common vision for humanity, a contract between world leaders and peoples and “a list of things to do on behalf of peoples and the planet”.
