What are the UN Sustainable Development Goals?

The United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals are a collection of 17 global goals designed to be a “blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all”. Adopted by UN member states in September 2015, the SDGs will shape government, business and civil society priorities to 2030.
