The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was launched in
2015 to end poverty and set the world on a path of peace, prosperity
and opportunity for all on a healthy planet. The 17 Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) demand nothing short of a transformation
of the financial, economic and political systems that govern our
societies today to guarantee the human rights of all. They require
immense political will and ambitious action by all stakeholders. But, as
Member States recognized at the SDG Summit held last September,
global efforts to date have been insufficient to deliver the change
we need, jeopardizing the Agenda’s promise to current and future
generations.
