Adoption of the SDGs

Dear Friends,

A special Sustainable Development summit of the United Nations was held between 25 – 27th September 2015, coinciding with the seventieth anniversary of the UN at New York. All 193 member states of the UN agreed to adopt the 17 ambitious Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), to be implemented over the next 15 years from 2016 through 2030. Its title is: “Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.” Helen Clark, former Prime Minister of New Zealand and Administrator of the UNDP said, “Ours is the last generation which can head off the worst effects of climate change and the first generation with the wealth and knowledge to eradicate poverty. For this, fearless leadership from us all is needed.”
