1. 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development" including its 17

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 targets was adopted on 25 September 2015 by

Heads of State and Government at a special UN summit. The Agenda is a commitment to

eradicate poverty and achieve sustainable development by 2030 world-wide, ensuring that no

one is left behind. The adoption of the 2030 Agenda was a landmark achievement, providing for

a shared global vision towards sustainable development for all.

Developing the 2030 Agenda

The journey started in June 2012, with the "Rio+20" Conference on Sustainable

Development, where Governments decided to develop global Sustainable Development Goals,

building on the Millennium Development Goals but also including issues such as natural

resources management, sustainable consumption and production, effective institutions, good

governance, the rule of law and peaceful societies. The reports of the Open Working Group on

Sustainable Development Goals and the Intergovernmental Committee of Experts on Sustainable

Development Financing formed the basis of the final Agenda package, through a series of

intergovernmental negotiations in partnership with major groups and stakeholders, ensuring the

broadest possible ownership of this new Agenda.

In the run-up to the adoption of the 2030 Agenda, the Commission worked closely with

the Member States to ensure an ambitious global outcome. It issued a first Communication “A

decent life for all: ending poverty and giving the world a sustainable future” in February 2013. It

was followed by Council Conclusions on “An overarching post-2015 framework” in June 2013.

A second Communication “A decent life for all: from vision to collective action” was issued in

June 2014 and was followed by Council Conclusions on “A transformative post-2015 agenda” in

December 2014. On 5 February 2015 the Commission issued its third Communication "A Global

Partnership for Poverty Eradication and Sustainable Development after 2015" which puts

forward ideas on the appropriate enabling policy environment; on financing – public and private,

national and international; and on monitoring and accountability. This was followed by Council

Conclusions on "a global partnership for Poverty Eradication and Sustainable Development after

2015" on 26 May 2015
