What is Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs, also known as the Global Goals) are 17 goals with 169 targets that all UN Member States have agreed to work towards achieving by the year 2030. They set out a vision for a world free from poverty, hunger and disease.
1  End poverty in all its forms everywhere
2  End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture
3  Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
4  Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all
5  Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
6  Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all
7  Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all
8  Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all
9  Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
10  Reduce inequality within and among countries
11  Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
12  Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
13  Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
14  Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development
15  Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss
16  Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels
17  Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development 

Health has a central place in SDG 3 “Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”, underpinned by 13 targets that cover a wide spectrum of WHO’s work.

Almost all of the other 16 goals are related to health or their achievement will contribute to health indirectly.

The SDGs aim to be relevant to all countries – poor, rich and middle-income – to promote prosperity while protecting the environment and tackling climate change. They have a strong focus on improving equity to meet the needs of women, children and disadvantaged populations in particular so that “no one is left behind”.
This agenda builds on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) which were 8 goals that UN Member States signed in September 2000 to achieve targets to combat poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy, environmental degradation and discrimination against women by 2015.
