The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a universal set of goals and targets for UN member states to work towards over the next 15 years to achieve sustainable development. The world will achieve these goals through financing for development, which involves mobilizing domestic and public resources, private investments, official development assistance, philanthropic donations, and investments from multilateral development banks. Individuals can help by paying taxes, investing in development projects, donating towards the SDGs, joining local NGOs working on the goals, and raising awareness of the goals.
