The Global Goals comprise 17 goals for sustainable development towards 2030. The overall purpose is to counteract climate change, put and end to extreme poverty, and fight inequality and injustice.

​

The 17 goals are also known as the Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs. Each of the SDGs has a number of underlying targets resulting in a total of 169 targets.

​

The global goals were adopted in September 2015 by all 193 United Nations' member states as part of the 2030 development agenda.
