Our republic joined the Sustainable Development Goals approved for 2016-2030 at the Sustainable Development Summit of United Nations member states held on September 25-27, 2015. The set goals and objectives are based on the Millennium Development Goals, covering the economic, social and environmental aspects of sustainable development and determine the next development directions. Taking into account that the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals requires a complex approach from an institutional and political point of view, it is of particular importance to develop an efficient national implementation mechanism for the development of a more stable, comprehensive and diversified economy in Azerbaijan, and for ensuring the balanced development of social sectors. In this regard, the National Coordinating Council for Sustainable Development of the Republic of Azerbaijan was established by the Decree of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan dated October 6, 2016, in order to coordinate the implementation of the duties of the state bodies related to the obligations arising from the "Transformation of our world: Agenda in the field of sustainable development until 2030".
