Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - Basics and General, grade: 5, Massey University, New Zealand, language: English, abstract: How may the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals lead to equality and justice for all? And can the success of the Sustainable Development Goals be determined through its indicators? This essay focuses on responding to these two questions. On 18 September 2000, the United Nations and its General Assembly adopted the Millennium Development Goals. This project was launched with the objective of contributing to the development of the poorest countries in terms of eradicating extreme hunger, poverty and facilitate access to education. Also, it aimed to promote gender equality and health for all. In order to achieve its purpose by 2015, the Millennium Development Goals were distributed in eight goals, 18 targets and 48 indicators. However, by the end of 2015 and until now, millions of people living in developing countries continue facing hunger, extreme poverty, lack of education and health support; which could indicate that the Millennium Development Goals did not achieve its objectives completely. For this reason, in September 2015, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted a new international development project named the Sustainable Development Goals, with the aim of promoting the sustainable development of all the countries in the world and the deadline is 2030. The Sustainable Development Goals are wider than the Millennium Development Goals. For example, with the aim of promoting and achieving equality and justice for all the Sustainable Development Goals have allocated 17 goals, 169 targets and 230 indicators.
