The United Nations, the global podium of peace and humanity,

approved the 2030 agenda which contains the Sustainable

Development Goals. In September 2015, the World leaders of all

193 member states of UN agreed to 17 Sustainable Development

Goals as the Global Goals. The 2030 Agenda which contain the

Sustainable Goals carries a resolve that has potential to liberate

humanity from all man-made crises. These goals focus on global

challenges that are facing humankind including poverty, hunger,

inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace

and justice but focus forward on social and economic

development and environmental protection for our better future.

As these goals are broad and interdependent, they are made

more actionable by identifying the specific target for each goal

along with indicators to measure progress towards each target.
