In September 2015, the United Nations passed a resolution titled Transforming our world: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Included in this agenda were 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) along with 169 targets. The purpose of the goals and targets was to stimulate action over the next 15 years in areas of critical importance for humanity and the planet. More specifically, the agenda focused on the following five areas:

1 People—We are determined to end poverty and hunger, in all their forms and dimensions, and to ensure that all human beings can fulfill their potential in dignity and equality and in a healthy environment.

2 Planet—We are determined to protect the planet from degradation, including through sustainable consumption and production, sustainably managing its natural resources and taking urgent action on climate change, so that it can support the needs of the present and future generations.

3 Prosperity—We are determined to ensure that all human beings can enjoy prosperous and fulfilling lives and that economic, social, and technological progress occurs in harmony with nature.

4 Peace—We are determined to foster peaceful, just, and inclusive societies that are free from fear and violence. There can be no sustainable development without peace and no peace without sustainable development.

5 Partnership—We are determined to mobilize the means required to implement this Agenda through a revitalized global partnership for sustainable development, based on a spirit of strengthened global solidarity, focused in particular on the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable and with the participation of all countries, all stakeholders and all people.
