Introduction

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations (UN) as part of the 2030 Agenda constitute a global framework for achieving sustainable development. They have become a strategic priority and the focus of action for countries worldwide. However, almost halfway into the 2030 Agenda process, its implementation has been seriously hindered by climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic, with global progress in individual goals even facing setbacks. The goals will not be achieved by 2030 unless their implementation is accelerated.
