Abstract
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by United Nations member states in 2015 will set the global agenda for more inclusive and sustainable development and growth for decades to come.
The SDGs are notably different to their predecessors, the Millennium Development Goals. They are more comprehensive in scope, covering poverty eradication, economic growth and job creation, food security, health, access to education, energy, water and sanitation, gender parity, peace, climate change and numerous other aspects of environmental sustainability. They explicitly recognize the interlinkages among goals. They will be universal. And they focus more concretely on their means of achievement.
