The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide the overarching framework for international development. Agreed by all UN member states in 2015, they aim to address the grand challenges of our time, in doing so ‘leaving no-one behind’ while tackling the interconnected crises of global climate change, biodiversity collapse, health, and societal injustice and inequality. The SDGs for Melbourne Partnership was established to respond to these challenges by localising the SDGs for the City of Melbourne.
