Introduction

In 2015, governments around the world took bold and decisive action by adopting the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (UN, 2015), or the 2030 Agenda as it is often called. Since then, the 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have become the overarching framework for sustainable development. The universal and inclusive nature of the 2030 Agenda commits the international communit y to act together to overcome the multiple and complex challenges facing the world in the twenty-first century. It will guide development policies worldwide during the next decade and beyond.

Sustainable Development Goals:

Life on Land
