Question

What is UN Sustainable Developement Goal? I don't really understand what they are by reading articles.

Can you keep it simple? So they there's 17 goals to make the world a better place, right? Like environment and education. And all the states meet up to set policies so they can put programs that would make the world a better place not only in developing countries but around the world. So everyone's happy.

But it says there's another thing called MDG or Millenium Developement Goal. And this is where it gets confused. So this thing was what it used and it got expired? It's like the same thing, but since it got expired, now they're using SDG? And it says MDG and SDG have similar functions too.

I need to do a presentation, so I really want to know about what SDG is so I can go up and talk about it in detail. But although I know what it does like help people, I can't specifically know what it really is. When i read this article, I have no idea what it's really saying. Here's the link. Thanks!

Explanation / Answer

The goals on united nations are very large.

It says end of povery, How do you end poverty?

UN is the only agency that knows too well about development and need for good governance. Its goals also need stable governments worldwide to further its goals.

The articles you gave vaguely mention about these goals, They also state that the millenium goals have expired so the working group of over 70 nations drafted new sustainable development goals which will be enacted in 2016 with validity of 15 years.

But already formed goals are clearly metioned in UN website and they have a website dedicated to this goals.

UN has list of its goals here. Pelase refer to them for some more info.
