The Member States of the United Nations adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by General Assembly resolution A/RES/70/1 of 25 September 2015. The aim of this resolution is to achieve these 17 goals by 2030 with a view towards ending all forms of poverty, fighting inequalities and tackling climate change while ensuring that no one is left behind. The United Nations’ objective has been to create positive and hopeful language that will be a constant thread through all efforts to support the SDGs, strengthening the sense that we are all in this together and are working toward the same objective. The United Nations’ aim is that this will inspire and help carry the promise of a better world forward.In order to promote awareness of the SDG (sometimes referred to as the Global Goals), a general logo and 17 individual icons have been developed. These guidelines are meant to enable information sharing, engagement, and collaboration and addresses three main components:1. The words “Sustainable Development Goals”,2. A colour wheel visual identifier, and 3. Names for each of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals with corresponding individual icons for each goal.
