2. THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS ARE…
• A set of 17 goals for the world’s future, through 2030
• Backed up by a set of 169 specific targets
• Negotiated over a two year period by the United Nations
• Agreed to by nearly all of the world’s nations on September 25th, 2015
3. WHAT IS NEW AND DIFFERENT ABOUT THE 17 SDGS?
First, and most important, these Goals apply to every nation … and every sector. Cities,
businesses, schools, organizations, all are challenged to act. This is called
Universality
4. WHAT IS NEW AND DIFFERENT ABOUT THE 17 SDGS?
Second, it is recognized that the Goals are all inter-connected, in a system. We cannot aim to
achieve just one Goal. We must achieve them all. This is called
Integration
5. WHAT IS NEW AND DIFFERENT ABOUT THE 17 SDGS?
And finally, it is widely recognized that achieving these Goals involves making very big,
fundamental changes in how we live on Earth. This is called
Transformation

• How cities use resources will largely determine
land use patterns in the coming years
35. SO, WHERE DO YOU START?
• At what level will implementation of the SDGs happen?
• Who is responsible for their implementation?
• When do we need to start?
• How often do we need to take stock of where we are at?
• And finally, why are we doing this?
36. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION
ENJOY THE LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME – AND MAKE SURE TO DO SOMETHING FOR
SUSTAINABILITY AFTER IT!!!
