About the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
The 2030 Agenda sets out 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which were defined by the international community and are meant to be achieved by 2030. The SDGs cover a broad range of issues, including ending poverty, sustainable economies and action to address climate change. The 2030 Agenda is the global frame of reference for sustainable development. It was adopted in 2015 by all UN member states with a view to achieving the SDGs by 2030. The Agenda defines 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) covering 17 aspects of social, economic and environmental development, including poverty reduction, climate protection and responsible business practices. The Agenda also sets 169 (targets) which provide further guidance on the issues covered by the SDGs and the specific measures to be implemented. The 17 SDGs are structured around five guiding principles: people, planet, prosperity, peace and partnership (the '5 Ps'). The Agenda aims to promote human well-being, economic development and environmental protection. It also addresses issues such as peace, the rule of law and good governance, which are essential to sustainable development.

Switzerland is also required to implement the SDGs nationally.

The 2030 Agenda facilitates cooperation by providing a common language and an integrated vision of sustainable development partnership as an approach to implementing the 2030 Agenda.
