What are the Sustainable Development Goals?
In 2015, 193 world leaders agreed to 17 goals for a better world by 2030. These goals have the power to end poverty, fight inequality and stop climate change. Guided by the goals, it is now up to all of us, governments, businesses, schools, people young and old, to work together to build a better future for everyone.
