SDG17 Partnerships for the Goals

National human rights institutions as a driving force for sustainable development

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development has among its objectives to end poverty, reduce inequalities, provide for good health and quality education, promote action to combat climate change and achieve peace, justice and strong institutions. Moreover, it explicitly states that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), seek to realize the human rights of all. The Agenda is also based on the principles of participation, inclusion, transparency and accountability, which are basic human rights principles.

Integrated review and reporting on SDGs and Human Rights

Human rights and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development are inextricably linked. The 2030 Agenda is explicitly grounded in international human rights. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) "seek to realize the human rights of all", and more than 90% of the targets directly reflect elements of international human rights and labour standards. The pledge to “leave no one behind” mirrors the fundamental human rights principles of non-discrimination and equality.
