This is Agenda 2030

Sustainable development encompasses three dimensions: environmental, social, and economic. These dimensions are interlinked and must be addressed collectively in efforts toward sustainable development.

Agenda 2030 encompasses all three dimensions of sustainability and consists of 17 global Sustainable Development Goals. These 17 goals are in turn divided into 169 targets. Most of the goals are interdependent and directly linked to one another, meaning that if we contribute to the success of one goal, it has positive effects on other goals.

The UN resolution that established the 2030 Agenda clearly outlines the key role of local actors: local leadership, even on global issues, is crucial to achieving the goals by 2030.

The “Leave No One Behind” principle of the 2030 Agenda is a fundamental prerequisite for the equitable achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. It involves actively identifying and including people who might otherwise be left behind—whether due to poverty, discrimination, disability, gender, age, or other factors. This principle is deeply rooted in the human rights framework, where equality, gender equality, and non-discrimination are central values. The principle of leaving no one behind is essential for achieving the goals of the 2030 Agenda. The Global Goals cannot be achieved if certain groups are systematically excluded. Therefore, all sustainable development efforts must be guided by a rights-based approach, with particular attention directed toward the most vulnerable.
