Goal 16 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is focused on promoting peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, providing access to justice for all, and building effective, accountable, and inclusive institutions at all levels. This goal aims to ensure that societies are just, peaceful, and inclusive, with strong institutions that uphold the rule of law and protect human rights.
Goal 16 has ten targets that address various aspects of peace, justice, and strong institutions. These targets include reducing violence and crime, promoting the rule of law and access to justice, reducing corruption and bribery, ensuring responsive, inclusive, and participatory decision-making, strengthening institutions at all levels, and ensuring public access to information and protection of fundamental freedoms.
By achieving Goal 16, countries can create a foundation for sustainable development by fostering peaceful and inclusive societies, promoting access to justice, and building effective institutions. This goal recognizes that without peace, justice, and strong institutions, sustainable development cannot be fully realized.
