FAQ
What are the Sustainable Development Goals? The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
Both the Kyoto Protocol at the outset and the Paris Agreement, which is currently in force, lay the foundations for achieving global targets.
As such, the Agenda's Sustainable Development Goals aim not only to achieve sustainable development in its three dimensions – economic, social and environmental – but also to foster peaceful, just and inclusive societies, realizing the human rights of all.
The New Urban Agenda was adopted at the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III) in Quito, Ecuador, on 20 October 2016. The New Urban Agenda represents a shared vision for a better and more sustainable future.
International agreements are formal understandings or commitments between two or more countries. An agreement between two countries is called “bilateral,” while an agreement between several countries is “multilateral.” The countries bound by an international agreement are generally referred to as “States Parties.”
Examples of key soft law documents in international environmental law include Agenda 21: Programme of Action for Sustainable Development, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and the U.N. Forest Instrument.
Most of these are derived from the two key concepts identified in the Brundtland definition: the concept of needs, particularly the needs of poor people, and the concept of limits, particularly the limits on the environment's ability to deliver people's needs.
These organizations often develop sustainable development goals and frameworks that guide countries in their efforts. They also provide technical expertise and capacity-building support to help countries implement sustainable policies and practices.
Two major agreements of paramount importance were signed at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992, namely the UNCBD and the UNFCCC. >> The United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (UNCBD) is dedicated to the promotion of sustainable development through the shared conservation and management of biodiversity.
The SDGs central to its work are: SDG 1: No Poverty; SDG 2: Zero Hunger; SDG 3 Good Health and Well-Being; SDG 4: Quality Education; SDG 5: Gender Equality; SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation; SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth; SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities; SDG17: Partnerships.
