YABT and the Sustainable Development Goals

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the global plan adopted by all the United Nations member states in 2015 to achieve prosperity for all people and the planet. This worldwide commitment consists on leaving no one behind and making the 17 SDGs a reality for everyone by 2030.
