Following the culmination of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in 2015, UN member countries accepted a set of 17 comprehensive goals encompassing 169 targets on September 25th 2015, with an aim of eradicating poverty, safeguarding the planet and enabling prosperity for everyone by 2030.
Akin to other countries, Seychelles pledged to achieve the 17 SDGs by 2030. The individual goals target social, economic and environmental aspects of the economy.
It is important to understand that the goals are not mutually exclusive and can be achieved in conjunction. For instance, by ensuring no poverty (Goal 1) and zero hunger (Goal 2), good health and well-being (Goal 3) can be achieved. Likewise, actions mitigating climate change (Goal 13) can facilitate life below water (Goal 14).
