The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development “seeks to realize the human rights of all”. Since its adoption, there have been significant efforts to pursue the synergies between the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and human rights to increase coherence, efficiency and accountability in the implementation and monitoring of both agendas.

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.
