The Sustainable Development Goals

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.
