The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) came into force at the beginning of 2016. They build on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and articulate a new global development agenda to eradicate poverty and shift the world onto a sustainable development path by 2030. The SDGs are comprehensive, including goals on poverty reduction, education, health, environment, and peaceful and inclusive societies. The 17 SDGs and their 169 targets are designed as a web of inter-relationships and dependencies, where progress toward one goal can enhance progress in others.
