The Story so far...

In the year 2000 the United Nations began a 15-year cycle to arrest poverty across the globe called the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). By 2015 these goals became an even more ambitious set of goals to banish a whole host of social ills by 2030.

The seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a shared vision of humanity and a social contract between the world’s leaders and the people. They are a to-do list for people and planet, and a blueprint for success, with targets to wipe out poverty, fight inequality and tackle climate change by 2030.

​The goals address the needs of people in both developed and developing countries, emphasizing that no one should be left behind. Broad and ambitious in scope, the Agenda addresses the three dimensions of sustainable development: social, economic and environmental, as well as important aspects related to peace, justice and effective institutions.

​REBEL BUSINESS SCHOOL AOTEAROA (RBSA):
