History of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
The 2030 Agenda: A Global Plan for a Sustainable Future
In 2015, all UN member states adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This plan outlines 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a blueprint for a better future for both people and the planet. These goals call for urgent action from all countries, rich and developing, to address global challenges together.
Building on Decades of Progress
The SDGs are not a new initiative. They build on decades of work by countries and the UN, including previous efforts like Agenda 21 (adopted at the 1992 Earth Summit) and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). These earlier initiatives laid the groundwork for the more comprehensive and ambitious SDGs.
Key Milestones in the SDG Journey:
1992: Agenda 21, a comprehensive plan for sustainable development, is adopted at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro.
2000: The Millennium Declaration establishes eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) focused on tackling extreme poverty by 2015.
2002: The Johannesburg Declaration reaffirms commitments to poverty eradication and environmental protection, building on Agenda 21 and the MDGs.
2012: The Rio+20 conference launches a process to develop new SDGs after the MDGs expire in 2015.
2015: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with its 17 SDGs is adopted at the UN Sustainable Development Summit.
Implementation and Support
The UN plays a crucial role in supporting the implementation of the SDGs. The Division for Sustainable Development Goals (DSDG) within the UN provides resources and expertise to countries and stakeholders working towards achieving these goals.
Moving Forward: A Global Commitment
The success of the 2030 Agenda hinges on broad ownership and commitment from all stakeholders. DSDG aims to facilitate this engagement and ensure that the SDGs translate into a reality, creating a more sustainable and prosperous future for all.
