The Sustainable Development Goals

The SDGs are a global roadmap to a better world signed by all members of the UN in 2015. The SDGs give direction, offer a long-term perspective, and help to reach a sustainable world by 2030.

These goals are developed considering 5 dimensions of sustainable development: social inclusion, economic growth, environmental protection, peace and partnership. These dimensions are connected to the 5 P’s: people, prosperity, planet, peace and partnership.
