Sustainable Development Goals

SDGs

On 25 September 2015, the United Nations General Assembly adopted A/RES/70/1, Transforming Our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to end poverty and hunger, combat inequalities, build peaceful, just and inclusive societies, protect human rights, promote gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls, ensure the lasting protection of the planet and its natural resources and create conditions for sustainable, inclusive and sustained economic growth, shared prosperity and decent employment for all.

A Rocha’s work is part of the global effort to meet these ambitious goals by 2030.

The SDGs are the outcome of numerous discussions across public and private fora, including participation by faith communities and NGO representatives. Faith communities are key actors in implementing the SDGs. We are part of the effort to place people and planet on a safer, more equitable and sustainable path. 

All of A Rocha’s scientific research, environmental education and community conservation projects relate to at least one SDG. 

Here are some examples. Read more in our A Rocha projects or on A Rocha country websites.
