Peace and sustainable development are inseparable.
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals offer a shared framework for prosperity, dignity, justice, and a healthy planet by 2030.
Adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, the 17 Goals describe a shared horizon for ending poverty, protecting the planet, and expanding peace, dignity, and opportunity. Peace education helps people understand how these ambitions connect—and gives them practical ways to act.
