The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were a set of eight goals established by the United Nations in 2000 to reduce poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy, environmental degradation, and discrimination against women. The MDGs were largely successful in achieving their goals, and they helped to improve the lives of millions of people around the world.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 goals that were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 to build on the successes of the MDGs. The SDGs are more ambitious than the MDGs, and they address a wider range of issues, including climate change, inequality, and peace and justice.
This paper discusses the evolution of the MDGs and the SDGs, and it examines the challenges and opportunities of achieving the SDGs.
