Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

In September 2015, countries adopted a new sustainable development agenda, built around 17 sustainable development goals. This agreement is the culmination of a concerted effort by governments, civil society and other partners to build on the momentum created by the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to define an ambitious post-2015 development agenda.

What is the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development? What are its objectives? We explain it to you in six minutes in this animation produced by the UNESCO Centre of the Basque Country - UNESCO Etxea, with the support of the City Councils of Vitoria-Gasteiz and Bilbao, and the Basque Agency for Development Cooperation. The audiovisual aims to raise awareness of the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs in their global and local context, and how they challenge us, helping to create a more informed and aware society, as well as to enhance the values of sustainability, gender equality, justice, human rights and the role that an active and aware citizenry should play.
