The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a universal framework of 17 interconnected objectives adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Grounded in a systems-thinking approach, the SDGs seek to address the complex and interdependent challenges facing humanity, including poverty, inequality, environmental degradation, and climate change, through integrated social, economic, and environmental strategies.

  Each goal is accompanied by specific targets and measurable indicators, enabling evidence-based monitoring and policymaking across diverse sectors such as health, education, clean energy, sustainable cities, and responsible consumption. The SDGs emphasize inclusivity, equity, and resilience, aiming to leave no one behind while promoting long-term sustainability at local, national, and global levels.

  Their implementation requires cross-sectoral collaboration, transdisciplinary research, and strong partnerships between governments, academia, civil society, and the private sector. As a collective blueprint, the SDGs guide transformative action to ensure a just, safe, and sustainable future for all.
