    What are Sustainable Development Goals?
    The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, are a shared agenda to end poverty, fight inequality & injustice, and
    protect the planet.

    The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), adopted in 2000 were aimed at an array of issues that included slashing poverty, hunger, disease,
    gender inequality, and access to water and sanitation. Enormous progress has been made on the MDGs, showing the value of a unifying agenda
    underpinned by goals and targets. Despite this success though, the indignity of poverty has not been ended for all.

    The new SDGs, and the broader sustainability agenda, go much further than the MDGs, addressing the root causes of poverty and the universal
    need for development that works for all people. The SDGs will now finish the job of the MDGS, and ensure that no one is left behind.

    There are 17 goals specifically:

    Goal 1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere


    Goal 2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture
    Goal 3. Ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages
    Goal 4. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all
    Goal 5. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
    Goal 6. Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all
    Goal 7. Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all
    Goal 8. Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all
    Goal 9. Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
    Goal 10. Reduce inequality within and among countries
    Goal 11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
    Goal 12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
    Goal 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
    Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development
    Goal 15. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt
    and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss

    and inclusive institutions at all levels
