SDGS Academy

sustainable development goals are integrated sets of voluntary, universally applicable global goal statements organized by thematic areas, with time-bound, quantitative targets and a suite (dashboard) of indicators to be adopted at national level, that aim to catalyze sound pathways to sustainable development, and to balance economic, social and environmental dimensions, and reflect the interconnections between them. the application of the sdgs will reflect and enhance the principle of equity. their implementation will build capacity in backward areas to address identified issues in a lasting manner the development of targets and indicators should incorporate the three dimensions of sustainable development. targets should also serve to characterize linkages between sdgs. an example of this is the linkage between water, energy and food security issues.
