The Seoul Sustainable Development Goals were established to actively incorporate the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals into the city administration thereby keeping Seoul’s sustainable development strategies up to the global trend and further improving it. UN’s SDGs had been suggested based on the consensus of the UN member states as objectives for the global community to pursue from 2016 to 2030, following the expiration of the Millennium Development Goals in 2015 which was agreed upon at the UN in 2000.
