The SDGs, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2015, provide a new global policy framework aiming at ending all forms of poverty, fighting inequalities and tackling climate change. They are divided into 17 interconnected goals which relate to social, economic and environmental aspects.

The SDGs are being mainstreamed in all levels of policy. The EU has committed to implement the SDGs both in its internal and external policies.
