This national human development report is being released just as the whole world is preparing to enter a new era of multilateral cooperation, which is critical to the future of the planet for the next fifteen years. In September 2015, on the occasion of the 70th session of the United Nations General Assembly, UN Member States adopted in New York a new international agenda for sustainable development, including 17 ambitious and integrated Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), aimed in particular at the eradication of poverty and hunger in the world by 2030. Called to take over from the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) as of 1 January 2016, the SDGs bring unprecedented innovations. Universal, these Goals are applicable to all. Transversal, they integrate the three dimensions of sustainable development: economic, social and environmental. They reflect a transformative vision of the economy for sustainable production and consumption patterns.
