Global Green and the Sustainable Development Goals

The United Nations has set 17 Sustainable Development Goals, laying out a vision for the world by 2030. These global goals outline a shared development path that encompasses all peoples and aims for an inclusive and sustainable future.

Green Cross programmes correspond to fifteen of the SDGs.

Green Cross has long recognised the need for a holistic, integrated and global approach to developmental and environmental challenges, reflected by our advocacy and fieldwork. Along with our partner/other NGOs, we have worked to promote such international, multidisciplinary frameworks of development. Our expert staff have worked with UN organisations to promote an SDG dedicated to water and recommended relevant targets.
