The Sustainable Development Goals
At the historic UN General Assembly Summit in
September 2015, the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development was adopted by the
UN’s 193 member states. The 17 Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) and their 169
targets are part of this agenda.
The Sustainable Development Goals are a bold,
universal agreement to end poverty and all its
dimensions and craft an equal, just and secure
world – for people, planet and prosperity.
The SDGs have been developed through an
unprecented consultative process that brought
national governments and millions of citizens
from the globe together to negotiate and
adopt this ambitious agenda.
FAO and the SDGs
FAO has played a key role in the post 2015
development agenda process and has been
an active contributor to the Inter-agency and
Expert Group on Sustainable Development Goal
indicators. Its Strategic Objectives are aligned to
achieving the SDGs relevant to its work.
FAO focuses on monitoring of six goals: SDGs 2,
5, 6, 12, 14 and 15. Compiling the globally
agreed indicators to monitor the progress
on the SDGs is a great challenge for member
countries with regard to their current data
availability, statistical capacity and resource
capability.
FAO is therefore assisting countries through
actions that will help mainstream the goals in
national development planning, implement
activities to achieve them, and monitor and
report progress through globally agreed
indicators.
Indicators and a sample of FAO actions for
these six goals are included in this booklet.
As custodian of the 21 indicators attached to
the goals, FAO is engaged in methodological
development and providing technical
assistance to countries to build their statistical
capacity. A dedicated web portal will be
established to report national data on
indicators under this custodianship.
In addition, FAO flagship publications are being
upgraded to meet the SDG global reporting
requirements.
