Sustainable Development Goals RoadMap

The Sustainable Development Goals and targets will stimulate action in the following critically important areas:

Poverty, Hunger, Education, Health and well-being, Gender equality, Water and Sanitation, Energy, Economic growth and decent work, infrastructure, Industry and innovation, Reducing inequalities, Sustainable cities, Consumption and production, Climate action, Ecosystems, Peace and Justice, and Partnership.

This comprehensive agenda recognises that it is no longer sufficient just to focus on economic growth alone, but on fairer and more equal societies, and a safer and more prosperous and liveable planet.

It recognises that the tasks of peace, justice, environmental protection, and industrial development are not disconnected from each other, but part of the same change.

It recognises, above all, that Urban, Rural, Regional or global interconnected challenges can only be fought with an inclusive and collective approach with interconnected solutions.

• India’s national development goals and its “Sab ka Saath, Sab ka Vikas” or “Development with all, and for all,” Policy initiatives for inclusive development converge well with the SDGs, and India will play a pivotal role in determining the success of the SDGs, globally. 
• State governments are key to India’s progress on the SDG Agenda as they are best placed to ‘put people first and to ensure that ‘no one is left behind. Many of the Government’s flagship programmes such as Smart City, AmRUT, Swachh Bharat, Make in India, Skill India, and Digital India are at the core of the SDGs. State and local governments play a significant role in many of these programmes. 
• State governments and ULB’s are key drivers to India’s progress on the SDG Agenda as they are best placed to ‘put people first and to ensure that ‘no one is left behind. Many of the Government’s flagship programmes mentioned above are at the core themes of the SDGs. 
• The role of Municipal council/corporations is equally important; 15 of the 17 SDG’s directly related to the activities undertaken by local governments in the country. State governments are paying keen attention to visioning, planning, budgeting, and developing implementation and monitoring systems for the SDGs.
• Advocating the broad-based consultative process that characterises the new global agenda and its process,  
• Terran India is an instrumental body and a facilitator, committed to bridging the gap, as we make progress towards achieving the SDG targets, we will reorient local, national and regional development on a more sustainable, and more resilient path.
