The purpose of this report is to assist countries in getting started with implementing the new SDGs.The SDGs are a universal agenda of sustainable development, calling on all nations to pursue a holisticstrategy that combines economic development, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability. The17 SDGs agreed at the UN on September 25, 2015 embody a shared global vision of how to combine thesethree dimensions of sustainable development into action at the local, national, and international levels.We are gratified that throughout the world, local and national governments are already rallying aroundthe new goals, seeking ways to incorporate them into planning processes. Businesses, universities, andcivil society are also recognizing that the SDGs and the Paris Climate Agreement (incorporated into thesustainable development agenda as SDG 13) are truly "something new," requiring a new orientation of strategy.
