THE UNITED NATIONS’ 17 SUSTAINABLE

DEVELOPMENT GOALS

“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 global partnership. They recognize
that ending poverty and other deprivations must go together 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.” Find out more about the UN’s Sustainable
Development Goals (1).

This Vital Signs report focuses on the SDGs below. These themes are the priorities identified by the
community through the HCF surveys.
