The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Formally adopted by 193 countries, the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 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 forests1. According to the Business and Sustainable Development Commission, putting the SDGs at the heart of the world’s economic strategy could unlock US$12 trillion in opportunities and 380 million jobs a year by 20302.
