Verdensmålene

Verdensmålene, also known as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), are a collection of 17 interlinked global goals designed to be a "blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all". They were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The goals cover a broad range of social, economic, and environmental issues, including poverty, hunger, health, education, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, affordable and clean energy, decent work and economic growth, industry, innovation and infrastructure, reduced inequalities, sustainable cities and communities, responsible consumption and production, climate action, life below water, life on land, peace, justice and strong institutions, and partnerships for the goals.

Each of the 17 goals has specific targets that countries are expected to achieve by 2030. These targets are measurable and have clear indicators to track progress. The SDGs are universal, meaning they apply to all countries, both developed and developing. They emphasize that no one should be left behind and that progress must be inclusive. The framework encourages collaboration and partnerships between governments, the private sector, civil society, and individuals to achieve these ambitious objectives. The adoption of the SDGs marked a significant global commitment to addressing the world's most pressing challenges in a comprehensive and integrated manner.
