Editorial commentary
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted in September 2015 by 193 UN member states and replaced the Millennium Development Goals. The 17 goals are supported by 169 targets and a global indicator framework of more than 230 indicators. They cover poverty (SDG 1), hunger (SDG 2), health (SDG 3), education (SDG 4), gender equality (SDG 5), water (SDG 6), energy (SDG 7), economic growth (SDG 8), industry and innovation (SDG 9), inequalities (SDG 10), cities (SDG 11), consumption (SDG 12), climate (SDG 13), oceans (SDG 14), land (SDG 15), peace and justice (SDG 16), and partnerships (SDG 17). The research-assessment community has progressively framed research priorities, funding calls, and impact reporting in SDG terms.
