17 goals that will change the world.
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are political targets set by the United Nations (UN) to ensure sustainable development at the economic, social and environmental levels worldwide.

The aim is to provide high quality, dependable, sustainable and resilient infrastructure that accounts in particular for the challenges posed by climate change.
