    History
    The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United
    Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace
    and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its
    heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an
    urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a
    global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other
    deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health
    and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while
    tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and
    forests.

    The SDGs build on decades of work by countries and the UN, including
    the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs

    In June 1992, at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, more


    than 178 countries adopted Agenda 21, a comprehensive plan of
    action to build a global partnership for sustainable development to
    improve human lives and protect the environment.
    Member States unanimously adopted the Millennium Declaration
    at the Millennium Summit in September 2000 at UN Headquarters
    in New York. The Summit led to the elaboration of
    eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to reduce extreme
    poverty by 2015.
    The Johannesburg Declaration on Sustainable Development and
    the Plan of Implementation, adopted at the World Summit on
    Sustainable Development in South Africa in 2002, reaffirmed the
    global community's commitments to poverty eradication and the
    environment, and built on Agenda 21 and the Millennium
    Declaration by including more emphasis on multilateral
    partnerships.
    At the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development
    (Rio+20) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in June 2012, Member States
    adopted the outcome document "The Future We Want" in which
    they decided, inter alia, to launch a process to develop a set of
    SDGs to build upon the MDGs and to establish the UN High-level
    Political Forum on Sustainable Development. The Rio +20
    outcome also contained other measures for implementing
    sustainable development, including mandates for future
    programmes of work in development financing, small island
    developing states and more.
    In 2013, the General Assembly set up a 30-member Open Working
    Group to develop a proposal on the SDGs.
    In January 2015, the General Assembly began the negotiation
    process on the post-2015 development agenda. The process
    culminated in the subsequent adoption of the 2030 Agenda for
    Sustainable Development, with 17 SDGs at its core, at the UN
    Sustainable Development Summit in September 2015.
    2015 was a landmark year for multilateralism and international
    policy shaping, with the adoption of several major agreements:
    Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (March 2015)
    Addis Ababa Action Agenda on Financing for
    Development (July 2015)
    Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
    Development with its 17 SDGs was adopted at the UN
    Sustainable Development Summit in New York in September
    2015.
    Paris Agreement on Climate Change (December 2015)
    Now, the annual High-level Political Forum on Sustainable
    Development serves as the central UN platform for the follow-up
    and review of the SDGs.

    Today, the Division for Sustainable Development Goals (DSDG) in the


    United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs
    (UNDESA) provides substantive support and capacity-building for the
    SDGs and their related thematic issues,
    including water, energy, climate, oceans, urbanization, transport, science
    and technology, the Global Sustainable Development Report
    (GSDR), partnerships and Small Island Developing States. DSDG plays a
    key role in the evaluation of UN systemwide implementation of the 2030
    Agenda and on advocacy and outreach activities relating to the SDGs. In
    order to make the 2030 Agenda a reality, broad ownership of the SDGs
    must translate into a strong commitment by all stakeholders to
    implement the global goals. DSDG aims to help facilitate this
    engagement.

    Implementation Progress
    Every year, the UN Secretary General presents an annual SDG Progress
    report, which is developed in cooperation with the UN System, and
    based on the global indicator framework and data produced by national
    statistical systems and information collected at the regional level.

    Group of Scientists appointed by the Secretary-General.
