According to the Brundtland report, sustainable development implies social and economic progress that will not harm the quality of life of future generations. We are aware that the world is not on such path. These last years, we have been facing pandemics, wars, and global warming. Billions of people are hungry and have no access to clean water. Inequality, gender inequality and the violation of fundamental human rights are pressing global problems of today. The United Nations are in center of solving all issues of importance to the international community. Aware of the seriousness of the situation, in year 2000, they adopted the Millennium Development Goals for the development of the world in the next fifteen years. They achieved a great success in alleviating poverty, but those goals haven’t been achieved in the planned period. They have been replaced and upgraded with a new set of Sustainable Development Goals, which were adopted as part of the resolution "Transforming our word: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development." Each of them solves a global problem and is universally applicable. Although Agenda 2030 is not legally binding, it is of great importance for the international community, therefore all member states have undertaken the obligation of its implementation. The United Nations and its specialized agencies watch over the implementation of the 2030 Agenda on global level and with their various activities contribute to achieving Sustainable Development Goals.
