No poverty, responsible consumption and production, reduced inequalities, sustainable cities and communities.

All these are goals for a fairer and more sustainable world. A total of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by the United Nations (UN) at the end of 2015 in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. 193 member states were involved, including Germany. The 2030 Agenda is a global plan to promote sustainable peace and prosperity and to protect our planet. Since 2016, all countries have been working to convert this shared vision for combating poverty and reducing inequalities into national development plans. The 17 goals, together with their 169 sub-goals, are intended to help solve many of the world's biggest problems, such as eradicating extreme poverty and hunger worldwide or stopping climate change. With this plan for the future, the global community wants to enable people around the world to live in dignity while at the same time preserving the natural foundations of life. Everyone - governments, civil society, business and science - is called upon to contribute to this.
