Which of the following are international development targets that are composed of 17 objectives set by the United Nations in order to achieve a sustainable world?
Explanation
SDGs — the Sustainable Development Goals, the 17 goals the United Nations set to achieve a sustainable world.
The SDGs were adopted by the UN in 2015 as the core of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The 17 goals, broken into 169 targets, cover poverty, hunger, health, education, gender equality, clean energy, decent work, climate action, peace and partnerships, and companies increasingly take them up as part of CSR and their business.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- •(a) COP21 — the 21st Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, held in Paris in 2015, which adopted the Paris Agreement; a meeting, not a set of goals
- •(c) UNESCO — the UN specialized agency for education, science and culture
- •(d) WHO — the UN specialized agency for international public health
Key rule: 17 goals under the UN's 2030 Agenda are the SDGs; COP is a climate conference, while UNESCO and WHO are UN agencies.
