The Glue of Global Goals: SDG 17 - Partnerships for the Goals

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, with its 17 ambitious Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), is a massive undertaking. The challenge is not just what to achieve, but how to achieve it. This is where SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals comes in.

Often called the "means of implementation" goal, SDG 17 acts as the glue that holds the entire agenda together. It recognizes that no single government, organization, or country can achieve the SDGs alone. Success requires a revitalized Global Partnership for Sustainable Development, mobilizing resources, knowledge, technology, and political will across governments, the private sector, civil society, and academia.
