Over the centuries, there is much economic activity and growth in the world to be proud of; however, we still face enormous societal, environmental, and economic challenges. Even today, a quarter of the world populations do not have clean water and sanitation Global leaders and policymakers are aware of this, and while making economic policies for growth, the fundamental values and fights for a better and sustainable world have to be reassured. Over the last few decades, national and international organisations are increasingly aware of the importance of sustainable development. What is meant by sustainable development? It says - economic development and growth that is performed without depletion of natural resources and international policies should support sustainable development. In the process of economic growth and having living standards, we should take care of taking care of our planet, also for humanity to survive. 

For the last two decades, this sustainable development has always considered as one of its main priorities. From a broader perspective, we need to fight for a better world and works hard to have a positive impact on the environment. The United Nations has created this program to improve and advocate for universal change for peace and prosperity in all countries. It is a call to action to protect the environment and end poverty. SDG is an acronym for "Sustainable Development Goals". They are available in 17 points, identified by the UN in 2015 with a horizon extending until 2030.

All member countries of UN has approved Agenda 2030 for sustainable development, the essential elements of which are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 169 sub-objectives, which aim to end poverty, to fight against inequality and to social and economic development. They also resume aspects of fundamental importance for sustainable development such as tackling climate change and building peaceful societies by the year 2030. This SDG framework can help and connect with the entire community of our world engaged in defining the path for sustainable development to provide adequate support to improve speed up its implementation. Let us manage the available resources efficiently and strategically, whether they are natural, financial and human or relational. For this goal, all countries, advanced or developed, emerging and developing countries are agreed to contribute equally to the effort to take the world on a sustainable path.
