\n2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development<\/a>

This global agenda and its goals provides a call to action to all countries, developing and developed, to address some of the biggest challenges of our time, now and into the future. 
\n<\/big><\/p>\n

At its core is a concern for people, planet, prosperity, peace, and partnership.  Important to note is that many of the 17 SDG’s are interrelated such that they aim to tackle an integrated web of global challenges.
