Sustainable Development Goals Questions
The United Nations plays a central role in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It was the UN that initiated the process of developing the SDGs, building upon the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The UN General Assembly adopted the SDGs in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure peace and prosperity for all by 2030. The UN provides a platform for member states to discuss and coordinate efforts towards achieving the SDGs. It also monitors progress, facilitates partnerships, and supports countries in implementing the goals through its various agencies, programs, and initiatives. Additionally, the UN organizes high-level meetings, conferences, and summits to mobilize political will and resources for the SDGs.
