The Award and The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
17 Global Goals to Change the World
In 2015, the United National adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which is a list of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (also known as the Global Goals or SDGs). Its purpose is to influence development plans internationally in order to achieve the 17 goals by 2030. It is an integrated framework and each goal contributes and enhances the efforts of the other goals.
