International Conference on Sustainable Development Goals Youth Summit 2017

Thailand in United Nations Convention Centre (UNCC)

A. Background

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were born at the United Nations
Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro in 2012. The objective was to
produce a set of universal goals that meet the urgent environmental, political and economic
challenges facing our world.The SDGs replace the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs),
which started a global effort in 2000 to tackle the indignity of poverty. The MDGs
established measurable, universally-agreed objectives for tackling extreme poverty and
hunger, preventing deadly diseases, and expanding primary education to all children, among
other development priorities.
The SDGs are a bold commitment to finish what we started, and tackle some of the
more pressing challenges facing the world today. All 17 Goals interconnect, meaning success
in one affects success for others. Dealing with the threat of climate change impacts how we
manage our fragile natural resources, achieving gender equality or better health helps
eradicate poverty, and fostering peace and inclusive societies will reduce inequalities and
help economies prosper. In short, this is the greatest chance we have to improve life for
future generations.
