What are SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals)?
In September 2015, the United Nations Summit agenda, "2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development," was adopted.
The 2030 Agenda set goals common to the international community from 2016 to 2030.
These goals, known as "Sustainable Development Goals" (SDGs), consist of 17 goal areas and 169 targets.
