The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) proposed by the United Nations in 2015 as guidelines for countries of the world to actively work to achieve by 2030, including ending poverty and hunger, achieving gender equality, ensuring clean water and sanitation, combating climate change, ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns and more, is a set of goals with 169 targets that cover economic growth, social progress and environmental protection.

Since then governments and multinational corporations have been working continuously to develop and implement plans in line with the SDGs.
