Acoording to the UN, at the heart of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an "urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership". As an example, the UN states that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.

To monitor the progress towards the SDG's, the UN Secretary General presents an annual SDG Progress report, which is developed in cooperation with the UN System and based on the global indicator framework and data produced by national statistical systems and information collected at the regional level. Additionally, the Global Sustainable Development Report is produced once every four years to inform the quadrennial SDG review deliberations at the General Assembly. It is written by an Independent Group of Scientists appointed by the Secretary-General. You can find the reports here.
You can find all the the SDG's in the video below.
