Sustainable Development Goals

Sustainable Development Goals

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a proposed set of targets relating to

future international development. They are to replace the Millennium Development Goals once they expire at the end of 2015.

The SDGs were first formally discussed at the United Nations Conference on

Sustainable Development held in Rio de Janeiro in June 2012 (Rio+20).

One of the main outcomes of the Rio+20 Conference was the agreement by member States to launch a process to develop a set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which will build upon the Millennium Development Goals and converge with the post 2015 development agenda.

July 2014, the UN General Assembly's Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals (OWG) forwarded a proposal for the SDGs to the Assembly.

The proposal contained 17 goals with 169 targets covering a broad range of sustainable development issues.

December 2014, the UN General Assembly accepted the Secretary-General's Synthesis Report which stated that the agenda for the post-2015 SDG process would be based on the OWG proposals
