Preamble
This
Agenda is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity. It also
seeks to strengthen universal peace in larger freedom. We recognize that
eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including extreme
poverty, is the greatest global challenge and an indispensable
requirement for sustainable development.
All
countries and all stakeholders, acting in collaborative partnership,
will implement this plan. We are resolved to free the human race from
the tyranny of poverty and want and to heal and secure our planet. We
are determined to take the bold and transformative steps which are
urgently needed to shift the world on to a sustainable and resilient
path. As we embark on this collective journey, we pledge that no one
will be left behind.
The
17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets which we are
announcing today demonstrate the scale and ambition of this new
universal Agenda.
They
seek to build on the Millennium Development Goals and complete what
they did not achieve. They seek to realize the human rights of all and
to achieve gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls.
They are integrated and indivisible and balance the three dimensions of
sustainable development: the economic, social and environmental.
The Goals and targets will stimulate action over the next 15 years in areas of critical importance for humanity and the planet.
People
We
are determined to end poverty and hunger, in all their forms and
dimensions, and to ensure that all human beings can fulfil their
potential in dignity and equality and in a healthy environment.
Planet
We
are determined to protect the planet from degradation, including
through sustainable consumption and production, sustainably managing its
natural resources and taking urgent action on climate change, so that
it can support the needs of the present and future generations.
Prosperity
We
are determined to ensure that all human beings can enjoy prosperous and
fulfilling lives and that economic, social and technological progress
occurs in harmony with nature.
Peace
We
are determined to foster peaceful, just and inclusive societies which
are free from fear and violence. There can be no sustainable development
without peace and no peace without sustainable development.
Partnership
We
are determined to mobilize the means required to implement this Agenda
through a revitalized Global Partnership for Sustainable Development,
based on a spirit of strengthened global solidarity, focused in
particular on the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable and with the
participation of all countries, all stakeholders and all people.
The
interlinkages and integrated nature of the Sustainable Development
Goals are of crucial importance in ensuring that the purpose of the new
Agenda is realized.
If
we realize our ambitions across the full extent of the Agenda, the
lives of all will be profoundly improved and our world will be
transformed for the better.
