Germany stands ready to advance sustainable development as both a domestic and a global issue

Since 2013, Germany has advanced the principles of universality, shared responsibility and transparent monitoring in the design of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted in September 2015 at the United Nations General Assembly.
