# Background
The SDGs are part of Resolution 70/1 of the United Nations General Assembly: "Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development". That has been shortened to "__2030 Agenda__".
The goals are broad and **interdependent**, yet each has a separate list of targets to achieve. Achieving all 169 targets would signal accomplishing all 17 goals.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. Read more on un.org
The SDGs cover social and economic **development** issues including poverty, hunger, health, education, global warming, gender equality, Water supply sanitation, energy, urbanization, Environmental protection and social justice
Paragraph 54 of the United Nations UNGA Resolution A/RES/70/1 of 25 September 2015 contains the goals and targets. The UN-led process involved its 193 Member states of the United Nations and global **civil society**.
The resolution is a broad intergovernmental agreement that acts as the Post-2015 Development Agenda. The SDGs build on the principles agreed upon in Resolution A/RES/66/288, entitled "The Future We Want". This was a non-binding document released as a result of United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development held in 2012.
Implementation as of 2016 is described as "**Localizing** the SDGs" to highlight the role of local institutions and local actors. Regional efforts included agreements like the Baltic 21. Some remain pessimistic about the potential for achieving the SDGs, especially because of estimates of the **cost** of achieving all 17.
However, progress had been reported by 2018. For example, fewer African children under the age of 5 are suffering from Stunted growth and wasting. However, the same study concluded that it is unlikely there will be an end to malnutrition by 2030.
