Sustainable Development Goals

OSMTH supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which were adopted by the Member States of the United Nations in 2015 as part of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The SDGs represent an urgent call for action by all countries, developed and developing, and by civil society organizations, working together in global partnership. The SDGs recognize that the aims of ending poverty and other deprivations need to be pursued alongside strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth, all while tackling climate change and working to preserve the planet’s oceans and forests.

In 2016, the OSMTH Grand Magistral Council agreed to consider the following 8, out of the total 17, UN Sustainable Development Goals as central to OSMTH's international efforts at the United Nations and the UN's various agencies and bodies:
