2016 is the kick off of the Sustainable Development Goals! It marks the start of the UN’s global effort to end poverty and build a better world.

The 17 #GlobalGoals with a target date of 2030 were adopted at UN Headquarters in #NYC in September, to fight poverty, reduce inequality and tackle climate change.
