Ending world hunger, eradicating poverty and creating a planet filled with peace and prosperity seems like fantasy, but the 193 member states of the United Nations (UN) took steps in mid-August to turn that dream into a reality. After two years of negotiations, participating countries agreed to an "ambitious" agenda with 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aimed to transform the world by 2030 into a better place--an agreement UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said "encompasses a universal, transformative and integrated agenda that heralds an historic turning point for our world." The goals are expected to be adopted in September by world leaders at the Sustainable Development Summit in New York.
