The Sustainable Development Goals as a Transformative Force? : Key Insights

• The scope of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 SustainableDevelopment Goals is unprecedented. So is the broad ambition expressed in thisagreement. While the United Nations has rarely shied away from declaring farreaching policy aspirations in the past, the 2030 Agenda sets the bar high –possibly higher than it has ever been before, with ambitious goals to end hungerand poverty while simultaneously reducing unsustainable consumption andprotecting the natural foundations of life on earth. The Sustainable DevelopmentGoals also add new areas of policy ambition that have not been promoted in thisform before, such as reducing global and national inequalities or promoting goodgovernance, both now enshrined as stand-alone global policy goals.
