17 SDGs History
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the world’s shared plan to end extreme poverty, reduce inequality, and protect the planet by 2030.
Adopted by 193 countries in 2015, the SDGs emerged from the most inclusive and comprehensive negotiations in UN history and have inspired people from across sectors, geographies, and cultures. Achieving the goals by 2030 will require heroic and imaginative effort, determination to learn about what works, and agility to adapt to new information and changing trends.
The UN Foundation focuses on ideas and initiatives that generate larger impact, advance the SDG imperative to “leave no one behind,” and are backed by evidence, practical commitments, and action.
Individuals, innovations, and actions are helping the planet realize the potential and promise of the SDGs.

A Special Thank You!

We give a special thank you to Ms. Melba Moore, a legendary actress and singer whose career spans over five decades. An American Rhythm and blues singer and actress, Melba Moore is a four-time Grammy® nominee and the winner of the 1970 Tony Award® for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical for her performance as Lutiebelle in Purlie.
Without the glimmer of bright lights and cameras, Ms. Moore supported our community mission and highlighted the need to work together for the greater good.
Working together as a community is imperative, uplifting and supporting your fellow man.
