The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was adopted by all United Nations member states in September 2015, with the shared mission to achieve global peace and prosperity. 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were set as the heart of the agenda and a call to action for all countries, both developed and developing, to commit to a shared plan of action for the ongoing safety of the planet and its inhabitants in the future. The 17 goals set out were: no poverty; zero hunger; good health and well-being; quality education; gender equality; clean water and sanitation; affordable and clean energy; decent work and economic growth; industry, innovation and infrastructure; reduced inequality; sustainable cities and communities; responsible consumption and production; climate action; life below water; life on land; peace, justice and strong institutions; partnerships for the goals.
