The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030.

There are 17 inter-related SDGs which recognise that development must balance social, economic and environmental sustainability.
