The 2030 Agenda For Sustainable Development

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.

We are resolved to free the human race from the alleviation of poverty and heal and protect our
planet.

We are determined to take the bold and transformative steps which are urgently needed to
shift the world onto a sustainable and resilient path.

The 17Sustainable 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 these 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.

We are meeting at a time of immense challenges to sustainable ns of our
citizens continue to live in poverty and are denied a life of dignity.

There are rising inequalities
within and among countries. Gender inequality remains a key challenge. Unemployment,
particularly youth unemployment, is a major concern. Global health threats, more frequent and
intense natural disasters, spiraling conflict, violent extremism, terrorism and related humanitarian
crises and forced displacement of people threaten to reverse much of the development progress
made in recent decades.

Natural resource depletion and adverse impacts of environmental
degradation, including desertification, drought, land degradation,freshwater scarcity and loss of
biodiversity, add to and exacerbate the list of challenges which humanity e change is
one of the greatest challenges of our time and its adverse impacts undermine the ability of all
countries to achieve sustainable development
.

The Millennium Development Goals were agreed 15 years ago provided an important
framework for development and significant progress has been made in a number of areas. But the
progress has been uneven, particularly in Africa, least developed countries, landlocked developing
countries, and small island developing States, and some of the Millennium Development Goals
remain off-track,

in particular those related to maternal, newborn and child health and to
reproductive health. We recommit ourselves to the full realization of all the Millennium
Development Goals, including the off-track Millennium Development Goals, in particular by
providing focused and scaled-up assistance to least developed countries and other countries in
special situations, in line with relevant support programs. The new Agenda builds on the
Millennium Development Goals and seeks to complete what these did not achieve, particularly in
reaching the most vulnerable countries.

Economist

Entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley, only half- jokingly, call it the URL three letters
usually stand for Uniform Resource Locator
—
the unique address of any file that is accessible via
the internet. But in the world of internet start-ups, URL has another meaning: Ubiquity first,
Revenue Later. This pretty much describes the strategy of most big online social networks, which
over the past few years have concentrated on piling on users rather than worrying about
profits.

That has allowed them to build huge followings, but it has also raised a big question- mark
over their ability to make money from the audiences they have put together.

At
issue is whether the social-networking industry can come up with a wildly successful form
of advertising in the same way that Google has been able to make billions of dollars from the
targeted ads that run alongside the search results it serves up. Without such a formula,runs the
argument, social networks such as Facebook will never amount to much.

Doubters claim that the networks face two big handicaps. The first is that people logged into
social- networking sites are there to hang out with their friends, so they will pay no attention to ads.
The second is that because the sites let users generate their own content, they will find it hard to
attract advertisers because brands will not want to take the risk of appearing alongside examples of
profanity,obscenity or nudity
—
or all three at once.

But the broader outlook for networking sites is more encouraging. One reason is that
advertisers are being drawn to the leading sites by their sheer scale. Facebook's audience is bigger
than any TV network that has ever existed on the face of the earth. Another thing that has attracted
companies is the networks' ability to target ads with laser-like precision, thanks to the data they hold
on their users' ages, gender, interests and so forth. Although there are still lingering concerns about
brands appearing next to racy content, firms seem more willing to run this risk now that the
networks' advertising proposition has become more compelling.
