The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to transform our world. They are a call to action to end poverty and inequality, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy health, justice and prosperity. It is critical that no one is left behind. In 2015, all the countries in the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It sets out 17 Goals, which include 169 targets. These wide-ranging and ambitious Goals interconnect.

Goal 3 is to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.
That's why Scotland's Sustainable Development Goals Network is here to champion the Goals, and build awareness and action across civil society, business and government. We believe the Goals are only going to be completed if we can make them famous here in Scotland. Join our network today!
