The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was passed by the United Nations General Assembly on 27 September 2015, bringing with it a unique opportunity to lay the foundations for a global transformation towards more inclusive and sustainable development models on a national and international level.
2030 Agenda
Eradicating poverty and joining forces to do so are the core of the 2030 Agenda. By engaging every country and every player, we can move forward towards a positive change for people and the planet. The United Nations are looking to the business fabric and foundations to drive inclusive human development locally.
