UN’s 2030 Agenda Will ‘Transform the World’

We have all heard of Agenda 21, but the 2030 Agenda isn’t quite so familiar. Agenda 2030 emphasizes gender and racial equality, eradication of poverty, and the total abolition of violence and hate. It lays out that the future world is based entirely on these goals and that the only way to achieve these things is through sustainable development and control of climate change. Oh – and the planet will also be totally poverty free by 2030 as well.

Here are a few of the pertinent points:

• It actually came into effect in January 2016.

• Its full title is ‘Transforming Our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

• The  areas covered by the Agenda are people, planet, prosperity, peace, and partnership.

• The 17 goals and 169 targets of the Agenda seek to build on the Millennium Development Goals and complete those that were not achieved.

• The ‘Declaration’ agreed upon at the United Nations meeting in New York has 53 points.

• Point 2 sets the tone: ‘On behalf of the peoples we serve, we have adopted a historic decision on a comprehensive, far-reaching and people-centred set of universal and transformative goals and targets. We commit ourselves to working tirelessly for the full implementation of this Agenda by 2030’.
