SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. The SDGs were agreed and adopted by the United Nations member states, including Australia, in September 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (NSW DPIE, 2020). The 17 Goals (shown below) guide efforts to increase global well-being through addressing some of society’s key challenges.

The strategic directions and actions outlined in this Community Strategic Plan will help to realise global goals through local action.
