The United Nations has adopted the “2030 Agenda: Towards Sustainable Development to Transform Our World” by setting 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with 169 targets to be implemented by 2030 covering three aspects of development: economic prosperity, social development, and environmental protection: Economic Prosperity, Social Development, and Environmental Protection. At the national level, countries and governments are encouraged to integrate these goals into their plans and policies and to develop national targets and indicators tailored to their specific circumstances. Governments are expected to take the lead in reviewing progress on the SDGs voluntarily through the preparation of National Voluntary Review reports. In addition, civil society organizations and other stakeholders are expected to accompany the government's efforts through national monitoring and follow-up.
