In September 2015, the United Nations Member States, including the Philippines, adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This global plan of action comprises 17 Goals and 169 targets aimed at ending poverty, protecting the planet, and ensuring peace and prosperity for all by 2030. The agenda is a universal call to action, urging countries to work together to achieve these ambitious objectives. The 193 UN member states committed to addressing various issues such as poverty, inequality, social inclusion, and climate change. They aim to increase productive capacity and protect the environment while ensuring that no one is left behind. The 17 goals are interconnected, recognizing that progress in one area can influence outcomes in others, and emphasizing the need for a balanced approach to social, economic, and environmental sustainability. Each government is expected to take ownership of the 17 goals by establishing national frameworks and setting targets that align with their specific circumstances. In the Philippines, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) is the official repository of SDG indicators. The PSA website provides reports evaluating the country's performance in achieving the SDGs, helping to guide national planning processes, policies, and strategies.
