Sustainable Development Goals

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the world’s blueprint to achieve a better, more sustainable future for all.  Adopted by all United Nation member states, the SDGs encompass all aspects of sustainable development including poverty reduction, quality infrastructure, and environmental protection. Each goal provides benchmarks so that progress can be measured, and policy impacts can be compared across nations, regions, and cities.
