Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
02.10.2015
The Agenda contains 17 new goals that aim to build on the 10 Millennium Development Goals approved in 2000. Over 150 world leaders participated in the conference, including UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. The new 2030 Agenda is a clarion call to work in partnership and intensify efforts to share prosperity, empower people’s livelihoods, ensure peace and heal our planet for the benefit of this and future generations. The new agenda also proposes to “strengthen universal peace” and recognises that “the eradication of poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including extreme poverty, is the greatest global challenge and an indispensable requirement for sustainable development”.
The document is the result of negotiations involving 193 UN Member States – an unprecedented participation from civil society – and contains fundamental principles such as the respect of human rights, achieving gender equality and women’s empowerment. The Agenda also embraces the three dimensions of sustainable development: economic, social and environmental. The 17 goals aim, by 2030, to: eradicate extreme poverty for all people everywhere and halve the proportion of men, women and children living in poverty; implement political systems aimed at sustaining further investments in actions in the fight against poverty; end all forms of malnutrition; double the agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale food producers; reduce the global maternal death ratio to less than 70 per 100,000 live births; end preventable deaths of newborns and children under 5 years of age; end the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria; reduce by one third premature mortality from non-communicable diseases.
Other goals include: inclusive and equitable quality education for all; achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls; ensure access to sustainable energy; support infrastructure and foster innovation; ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns; take urgent action to combat climate change and conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources; combat desertification, land degradation and biodiversity loss; promote peaceful, just and inclusive societies; strengthen and revitalise the global partnership for development.
