**4. Sustainable development goals (SDGs)**

The United Nations (UN) developed 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015 to chart a route for meeting present-day human needs without compromising the ability of future generations to achieve the same. The core goals of the SDGs are to safeguard the environment, ensure that everyone lives in peace and prosperity, and eradicate extreme poverty, hunger, and malnutrition by 2030. 12 of the 17 goal-indicators have a connection to nutrition [33].
