The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in September 2015 to address key development challenges facing today’s global economy including climate change, economic inequality, innovations, sustainable consumption, peace, and prosperity. All these goals are very much interrelated and require high commitment and collective effort of all countries, developed and developing alike. However, when it comes to implementation of these universal goals various countries face different social, economic and political challenges depending on their different capabilities, resources and national circumstances.
