The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by the UN, constitute a call to universal to action to end poverty, protect the planet and improve the lives and prospects of people on planet Earth.
For some time now, Puerto Rico, guided by several non-profit and private institutions, has been working on the issue and promoting sustainable practices from its different platforms. The Puerto Rico Community Foundation proposes the development of a Local Voluntary Report to have a look at the situation of the archipelago with respect to these objectives.
Each objective groups a series of goals and indicators, which allow a better understanding of the meaning behind each SDG and how progress can be measured. UN member countries committed to adopting the SDGs and making them part of their decisions over the next 15 years (2015-2030). Learn more.
