On 1 January 2016, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030
Agenda for Sustainable Development — adopted by world leaders in September 2015
at an historic UN Summit — officially came into force. Over the next fifteen years,
with these new Goals that universally apply to all, countries will mobilize efforts to
end all forms of poverty, fight inequalities and tackle climate change, while ensuring
that no one is left behind.
The SDGs, also known as Global Goals, build on the success of the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) and aim to go further to end all forms of poverty. The
new Goals are unique in that they call for action by all countries, poor, rich and
middle-income to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. They recognize that
ending poverty must go hand-in-hand with strategies that build economic growth and
addresses a range of social needs including education, health, social protection, and
job opportunities, while tackling climate change and environmental protection.

8. DID THE G20 ADVANCE AGENDA 2030

agenda-implementation/
In the outcome document of the 2017 Hamburg Summit, G20 leaders “commit to further align our
actions with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its integral part, the Addis Ababa
Action Agenda on Financing for Development, domestically and internationally, including in support of
developing countries and the provision of public goods.”
First, given President Donald Trump’s “America First” approach, his opposition to multilateralism and
his rejection of several established common positions of the G20, the renewal of the G20 commitment
to the 2030 Agenda in the official Summit communiqué can be considered an important success.
Second, the G20 agreed on additional steps to push the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. At the
Hangzhou Summit in 2016, the G20 adopted the Action Plan on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development which comprises commitments in all G20 work streams, national reports by all G20
members, and a mandate for the Development Working Group (DWG) to cooperate with Sherpas for
strengthening policy coherence and coordination. In Hamburg, building on the Hangzhou Action Plan,
the G20 leaders managed to agree on the Hamburg Update, which is an official document of the
Summit on which future G20 presidencies should build. The Update lists three new commitments that
were worked out by the DWG (pp. 2-3), Agenda-relevant collective actions that were elaborated under
the German Presidency by the other work streams (pp. 3-6), and all previous relevant G20
commitments (pp. 6-18).
