2. Sustainable Development Goals
 SDGs or Sustainable Development Goals are nothing but a
set of aims to endure the progress of Millennium
Development Goals or MDGs which was assigned to fight
against extreme poverty, hunger and preventable diseases.
 SDGs contain 17 goals and these goals are providing
abundant opportunities to each and every person in the
world. It tries to cover more or less every aspect of human
life. There are 169 targets for the 17 goals

3. Transitioning from MDGs to SDGs
Three main conclusions clearly apply to the transition from the
MDGs to the 2030 Agenda:
 Support cross-institutional collaboration between the UN
system and the World Bank;
 Advance better understanding of cross-sectoral work, and
the interrelatedness of goals and targets; and
 Promote global and high-level advocacy.

Zero Goals: The MDG targets for 2015
were set to get us “half way” to the goal of
ending hunger and poverty, with similar
proportional goals in other fields. The
SDGs are designed to finish the job – to get
to a statistical “zero” on hunger, poverty,
preventable child deaths and other targets.
MDGs vs SDGs: Comparison
Funding: The MDGs were largely
envisioned to be funded by aid flows –
which did not materialize. The SDGs put
sustainable, inclusive economic
development at the core of the strategy, and
address the ability of countries to address
social challenges largely through improving
their own revenue generating capabilities.
Quality Education: The MDGs focused on quantity
(eg, high enrollment rates) only to see the quality of
education decline in many societies. The SDGs
represent the first attempt by the world community to
focus on the quality of education – of learning – and
the role of education in achieving a more humane
world
Data Revolution: The MDGs said nothing about
monitoring, evaluation and accountability – the
SDGs target by 2020 to “increase significantly the
availability of high-quality, timely and reliable data
disaggregated by income, gender, age, race, ethnicity,
migratory status, disability, geographic location and
other characteristics relevant in national contexts.”

5.  On 25 September 2015, the United Nations (UN) General
Assembly adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development, along with a new set of development goals that are
collectively called the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
 The Agenda is a culmination of many years of negotiation and
was endorsed by all 193 member nations of the General
Assembly, both developed and developing and applies to all
countries.
 The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), otherwise known
as the Global Goals, are a universal call to action to end poverty,
protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and
prosperity.
