The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) are also know as the Global Goals?

In September 2015, Canada and all other 192 United Nations Member States adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at the UN General Assembly. This initiative is a global call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030. Read about the Global Goals here.
