What are the SDGs?
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), initiated in 2015, represent a global plan to promote a more sustainable and secure planet for all. The United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals motivate countries around the world to work together in a global partnership to achieve social, economic and environmental goals. They address global challenges such as poverty, inequality, climate change and environmental degradation and aim to find integrated solutions. The SDGs call on governments, companies, civil society organizations and individuals to actively participate. No one should be left behind in global development, especially the most vulnerable and marginalized groups.
Core areas of the SDGs:
- Social development
- Economic development
- Environmental compatibility
- Peace and justice
- Global partnership
A key feature of the SDGs is the system for measuring progress. The idea is that the goals are not just words on paper, but that measurable indicators and benchmarks are also established. This accountability system ensures that the goals have a measurable impact and do not just remain theoretical targets. Each target is measured individually, with specific indicators that must reach certain benchmarks in advance. It enables the continuous review and adjustment of strategies to ensure the achievement of these goals.
