In 2015, the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which delivers a universal plan for peace and prosperity for the present and future. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals are at the core of this plan and are a call to action for all countries without exception. It is becoming clear that eradicating poverty and other forms of deprivation must go hand in hand with strategies aimed at improving health and education, reducing inequalities, and strengthening economic growth. At the same time, special emphasis should be placed upon the issue of climate change and the protection of the oceans and forests.
