Sustainable Development Goals
Accelerating and fostering innovative solutions to solve economic and social issues and protect environment
Clean, efficient and sustainable solutions to contribute to achieve 8 SDGs
In September 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by the United Nations General Assembly with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Over the next decade, the SDGs must form an action plan to free humanity from poverty and put the planet back on the road to sustainability.
These objectives, which are one and inseparable, reflect the three dimensions of sustainable development: the economic, social and ecological aspects.
01. Definition
What are the Sustainable Development Goals?
The Sustainable Development Goals are a call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure peace and prosperity everywhere.
These 17 goals form a unique fusion of two global agendas, namely sustainable development and development cooperation. The focus of this agenda is on "universality", which means that implementation must be ensured not only in the Global South, but also on the entire planet.
In order to monitor progress in achieving the UN goals and subgoals, a set of 242 global indicators to measure the 169 sub-targets was presented in March 2016. A central aspect is that several indicators should be divided into relevant categories such as gender, age, geographical location, etc. The SDGs can be divided into 5 main themes: people, planet, prosperity, peace and partnership.
