In September 2015, the 193 UN member states adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It is a plan of action for humanity, planet and prosperity. It sets out a vision for transforming our world by strengthening peace, eradicating poverty and ensuring its transition to sustainable development.
Presentation
The Agenda 2030 merges the Millennium Development Goals and those of the Earth Summits. It is universal, meaning that it applies to all countries, North and South alike. With its objectives and targets, it sets out a detailed roadmap.
Monitoring system
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) must be achieved by both industrialized and developing countries. The United Nations has set up a monitoring and assessment system that is both universal and regular, transparent and results-oriented.
France
The Sustainable Development Goals are a responsibility shared by all actors and citizens of the signatory countries. To meet the challenge of implementing them in France, it is necessary to identify the key areas in which French society must collectively progress.
In Europe and worldwide
Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in Europe and around the world means strengthening cooperation and dialogue between countries. It all hinges on dialogue between players, and articulation between the different scales and perimeters of analysis and action.
