Publisher's Synopsis
In 2015 the United Nations adopted a set of seventeen goals "to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all", with specific targets for each goal to be achieved by 2030. These are the Sustainable Development Goals [SDGs] of the United Nations, or "Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development". The UN calls on governments, the private sector, individuals and civil society bodies to join together to achieve these goals. This volume groups international organizations by the seventeen UN Sustainable Development Goals, indicating which organizations are - or could be - concerned with which SDGs. It can also be used as an index to descriptions in Volume 1. Each organization is listed with its complete address.
