The Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, also known by its acronym SDG, refers to the initiative promoted by the United Nations (UN) towards the adoption of a set of 17 goals of universal application focused on eradicating poverty, protecting the planet and ensuring prosperity for all as part of a new sustainable development agenda (1): the Agenda 2030 on Sustainable Development. These goals were set in 2015 as the predecessors of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), and are intended to achieve those targets that could not be achieved over a period of 15 years.
