The Agenda 2030 is integrated by 17 Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs, which aim to achieve the well-being of humanity without leaving no one behind. Most SDG targets are connected in one way or another, and their implementation must be synchronized to achieve sustainable development at the local, national and global levels.
For example, SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities is linked to other Objectives, such as the end of poverty (1), health and well-being (3), education (4), gender equality (5), the reduction of inequalities (10), responsible consumption (12), climate action(13), among others.
