The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by all 193 Member States of the United Nations in September 2015. They are a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all.

The more people who know about and support the goals, the more likely countries are to achieve them.
