Kofi Annan United Nations SecretaryGeneral 1997 2006 Two fundamental statements from the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted in September 2015 by all Member States of the United Nations guide our work We are determined to end poverty and hunger in all their forms and dimensions and to ensure that all human beings can fulfill their potential in dignity and equality and in a healthy environment by protecting the planet from degradation including through sustainable consumption and production sustainably managing its natural resources and taking urgent action on climate change so that it can support the needs of the present and future generations. All countries and all stakeholders acting in collaborative partnership will implement this plan. We are resolved to free the human race from the tyranny of poverty and want and to heal and secure our planet.
