Section 2 Overview and Significance of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
4. Conclusion
The adoption of goals to be achieved by the international community by 2030 at the UN for the first time in 15 years marks a historic achievement. Events and campaigns welcoming the adoption of the 2030 Agenda were held all over the world, including in New York and cities across Japan. Governments as well as international organizations and civic groups are working to further advance their policies and efforts based on the 2030 Agenda. Private companies also seek to leverage the 2030 Agenda as a critical opportunity to evolve their businesses and contribute to solving social issues.
On the other hand, by no means will it be easy to steadily implement the Agenda over the next 15 years. As with the MDGs, unforeseen new issues may emerge in the face of a changing international situation surrounding development.
As members of the new Global Partnership involving an array of stakeholders each fulfilling their respective roles, every one of us needs to take actions to achieve the SDGs by having a vision of the world in 2030.
