Sustainable Development has been a global agenda for the last 25 years. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) declaration by the United Nations has set foundation for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be achieved by 2030. The UN Conference on Sustainable Development held in Rio de Janeiro in June 2012, and UN General Assembly (UNGA) held in September 2014 prepared solid foundation for SDGs and finally agreed in the UNGA held in September 2015. Nepal, as a member of the UN, is committed to this global initiative.
Nepal has made significant progress in poverty reduction and human development in the last two decades - absolute poverty declined by one percentage point each year and HDI improved by one basis point per year. Still, absolute poverty at 21.6 percent is among the highest in South Asia; and the country is at the
bottom of the countries with middle human development status. Nepal intends to be a middle income country by 2030.
