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.
