Global Sustainable Development Goals

– STRLDi POV ON SDG INTERRELATIONS & BLIND SPOTS

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, was adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries – developed and developing – in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.

Today, the Division for Sustainable Development Goals (DSDG) in the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) provides substantive support and capacity-building for the SDGs and their related thematic issues, including water, energy, climateoceansurbanizationtransportscience and technology, the Global Sustainable Development Report (GSDR)partnerships and Small Island Developing States. DSDG plays a key role in the evaluation of the UN systemwide implementation of the 2030 Agenda and in advocacy and outreach activities relating to the SDGs. To make the 2030 Agenda a reality, broad ownership of the SDGs must translate into a strong commitment by all stakeholders to implement the global goals. DSDG aims to help facilitate this engagement.

What People Say


It’s surprisingly straightforward, and it’s a bit mind-boggling that we haven’t grasped this concept sooner. It’s not as complex as it may seem.”.

“I love that it is based on data and is visual for all to see and under-stand in the same way. Few Systems Thinkers would use data to back up their works.”
