On September 18-19, a Summit on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is taking place in New York as part of the High-level Week of the UN General Assembly.

According to UN News, on the first day of the event, world leaders adopted a historic declaration, emphasizing their collective commitment to building a stable, inclusive, and prosperous world by 2030.

The SDGs were adopted in 2015 and should be implemented by 2030. The SDGs aren’t just a list of goals, the UN Secretary-General António Guterres noted. They carry people’s hopes, dreams, rights, and expectations everywhere. They provide the surest path to living up to our obligations under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, now in its 75th year. 

At the summit, the Secretary-General also listed six main areas facing the international community at this stage: taking action on hunger, the transition to renewable energy sources, universal digitalization, improving the quality of education, providing people with decent work and social protection, “ending the war with nature”.
