The SDGs are a successor to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs),which were adopted in 2000. The MDGs focused on a set of eight goals, and were widely seen as a success. However, the SDGs are more ambitious than the MDGs, and they address a broader range of issues.

The SDGs are based on the principle of sustainability. This means that they aim to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

The SDGs are divided into 17 goals, which are:

12. Responsible consumption and production
13. Climate action
14. Life below water
15. Life on land
16. Peace, justice and strong institutions
17. Partnerships for the goals

Each goal is broken down into a set of targets. There are 169 targets in total. The targets are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound.

The SDGs are accompanied by a set of indicators. The indicators are used to measure progress towards the targets. There are 232 indicators in total.
