This document discusses a talk given by Peter Wollaert on the Sustainable Development Goals and how they provide a global vision for local policy and action. It summarizes the history of sustainable development from the UN Charter in 1945 to the adoption of the SDGs in 2015. It then outlines the 17 SDGs and how they build upon the earlier Millennium Development Goals to create an integrated and universal agenda. The talk emphasizes how the SDGs can be implemented at the local level through partnerships between different stakeholders.

1945: PREAMBLE TO THE CHARTER OF THE UNITED NATIONS
WE THE PEOPLES OF THE UNITED NATIONS,
determined
to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war,
which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to
mankind, and
to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the
dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal
rights of men and women and of nations large and
small, and
to establish conditions under which justice and respect
for the obligations arising from treaties and other
sources of international law can be maintained, and
to promote social progress and better standards of life
in larger freedom, and for these ends
to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one
another as good neighbours, and
to unite our strength to maintain international peace
and security
