The United Nations Summit to adopt the post 2015 development agenda will take place from 25- 27 September 2015 in New York. The report of the Open Working Group of the General Assembly on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), prepared after wide consultations will form the basis for the summit. Seventeen SDGs have been recommended by the Working Group.

All the SDGs are intertwined. Barring a few, ICID, directly or indirectly, contributes to these goals. Particularly, Goal 2, Goal 6 and Goal 17 are addressed by ICID as it constitutes an effective global partnership on irrigation and drainage for the last 66 years. It should be our collective endeavour to strengthen this partnership and make it more effective. The sustainable development goals are accompanied by targets and will be further elaborated through indicators focused on measurable outcomes. They integrate economic, social and environmental aspects and recognize their interlinkages in achieving sustainable development in all its dimensions. The National Committees of ICID have to deliberate upon the kind of targets that each of the NC can set at the national level to achieve these Goals, so that ICID could jointly set achievable targets.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere 2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture 3. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages 4. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all 5. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls 6. Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all 7. Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all 8. Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all 9. Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation 10. Reduce inequalities within and among countries 11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable 12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development 15. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertifi cation, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss 16. Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels 17. Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.
