The FAO Blue Growth Initiative
The sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) are a new,
universal set of
goals, targets, and
indicators that UN
member states will
be expected to use to frame their
agendas and political policies over the
next 15 years.
The SDGs follow, and expand on, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which were focusing only on developing countries, and are due to expire at the
end of this year.
The 17 SDGs agreed to by Member States at the UN Summit in September
2015 will become applicable beginning in January 2016.The expected deadline for
the SDGs in 2030.
1. End poverty in all its forms
everywhere
2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved
nutrition, and promote
sustainable agriculture
13. Take urgent action to combat
climate change and its impacts 14.
Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and
marine resources for sustainable development
