What are SDGs?

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the successors of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) formulated in 2001 under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted at the UN Summit in September 2015. International targets from 2016 to 2030 are listed. Consisting of 17 goals and 169 targets for a sustainable world, we pledge to leave no one behind the globe. SDGs are universal not only developing countries but also developed countries themselves are working on, and JCI Amsterdam International is also actively working on them.
