Title

Sustainable development goals: all you need to know

Main Points

This article explains that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a new set of goals agreed in 2016 which aim to shape the development of the world over the next 15 years in a fair and sustainable way. It shows that the SDGs grew out of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) but have the advantage of being suitable for both developed and developing countries. The SDGs also go further than the MDGs as they also cover things like women’s rights.
