SDG 101: #KnowYourGoals

In a few words, we shall look into the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which was signed at the 70th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. On the 25th day of September 2015, countries adopted these new goals as part of a new sustainable development agenda.

The #SDGs otherwise called the #GlobalGoals or the 2030 agenda comprise of 17 goals which were agreed on by world leaders to guide policy and funding for the next fifteen years. The goals are strategic and interconnected and this means that success on one goal will ultimately tackle some issues of/from another goal.

New areas have been included such as climate change, sustainable consumption, peace and justice, economic inequality and innovation. The inclusive approach of the SDGs is such that they unite us globally as we tackle common pressing challenges ranging from poverty, to insecurity and conflict, and climate.

The SDGs require partnership of Private sector, civil society, governments and citizens to make sure we leave a better planet for future generations (Source: UNDP)
