Agenda 2030

The 2030 Agenda is a universal strategy and countries will mobilize all resources in order to achieve targets by 2030.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is adopted at the summit held in September 2015. It is a comprehensive strategy, established by UN through Resolution A/RES/70/1 - Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

All UN member states committed themselves to working for the realization of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Goals are focused on ensuring decent lives, peace and economic progress for all people in the world while taking care of the natural environment and combating climate change. The signatory states have committed to mobilizing all resources to achieve the goals by 2030.

The 17 global goals include 169 targets, i.e. 248 indicators that measure progress in the implementation of the sustainable development goals. Indicators of the sustainable development goals can be found on the official UN website: https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/indicators/indicators-list/.

The Agenda is based on “leaving no one behind” principle. It requires unprecedented efforts, partnerships and investments, not just in terms of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, but also in terms of providing high-quality statistical data necessary to monitor, measure and report on SDG progress.

The Government of the Republic of Serbia has directly participated in development and writing of the Sustainable Development Agenda by involving citizens in the process through after 2015 Development Agenda consultations, and by direct participation of the state representatives in the global forums where Sustainable Development Goals were defined.

One of the crucial documents is Declaration on the role of national statistical offices in measuring and monitoring the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), in which it is stated that the national statistical offices are committed to contribute their expertise to measure SDGs in a professional, independent and impartial way.
