The Sustainable Development Goals (HL IB Economics)
Revision Note
Defining Sustainable Development
Sustainable development is economic development that meets the needs of the present generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs
In 2015 the United Nations Member States committed to a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future
This blueprint is called The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
Integral to the blueprint are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which recognise that ending poverty must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and generate economic growth – while tackling climate change and working to preserve oceans and forests
The SDGs build on more than fifty years of work by countries and the United Nations
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals
The SDGs provide both a target for sustainable development and also a metric to measure and gauge the progress made
