The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and 17 Global Goals




The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were the eight international development goals for the year 2015 that had been established following the Millennium Summit of the United Nations in 2000, following the adoption of the United Nations Millennium Declaration

All 191 United Nations member states at that time, and at least 22 international organizations, committed to help achieve the following Millennium Development Goals by 2015:

To eradicate extreme poverty and hunger

To achieve universal primary education

To promote gender equality and empower women

To reduce child mortality

To improve maternal health

To combat HIV/AIDSmalaria, and other diseases

To ensure environmental sustainability

To develop a global partnership for development






Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (or Global Goals for Sustainable Development, the 17 Global Goals, the Global Goals or simply the Goals) are a collection of 17 global goals set by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015.

The SDGs are part of Resolution 70/1 of the United Nations General Assembly    -  "Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development".

That has been shortened to "2030 Agenda". 

The goals are broad and interdependent, yet each has a separate list of targets to achieve. 

Achieving all 169 targets would signal accomplishing all 17 goals.

The SDGs cover social and economic development issues including povertyhungerhealtheducation
