The Sustainable Development Goals, adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a follow-up to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), define global and country-level targets for 2030 in 17 areas critical to the current and future well-being of our civilization and our planet.
These include ending poverty and hunger, gender equality, education and health care, and climate change. According to the U.N., the SDGs were created in recognition of the reality that "development in all its dimensions must include all people, everywhere, and should be built through the participation of everyone, especially the most vulnerable and marginalized."
