The human rights framework and the principles and goals of sustainable development are of paramount importance for international cooperation and national policies. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, unanimously adopted by the United Nations in September 2015, outlines bold and transformative steps needed to address the challenges of inequalities and sustainability. It is a universal agenda that requires an integrated response across all policy streams.

Successful achievement of the Agenda’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals depends on robust accountability, deep resourcing and institutional reform. The goals span across interconnected challenges: growing inequalities, climate crisis, women’s rights and gender equality, the deepening digital divide, unjust trade and investment agreements, and rising militarism.
