What are the SDGs?

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. 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.

Testimonials

“The achievement of the SDGs relies on each countries’ citizens to hold their government leaders accountable, this is where youth have a vital role in advancing for both local and global implementation of the SDGs.

The FES SDGs Youth Training session engage and mobilize students across the country, giving them a better understanding of the importance of the SDGs and the tools they need to make change in their own communities around the world.

Goal 2 - Zero Hunger - pledges to end hunger, achieve food security, improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture, and is the priority of the World Food Programme. We cannot achieve this along, we need youth who are committed to creating a world where no child, no woman, no man goes hungry - making sure every government is committed to reaching Zero Hunger.”

- Julie Marshall, Canadian Spokesperson World Food Programme
