AGENDA 2030

The resolution sets out 17 Sustainable Development Goals. They range from ending poverty to expanding access to clean water and affordable energy. Each country decides how to incorporate the goals into its own policies, and the resolution describes the review process as voluntary and led by individual countries.

Critics who see a hidden program of global control often point to goals on sustainable cities, land use, and international cooperation. Some interpret them as plans to abolish private property or require people to move into designated areas. The resolution sets no such requirements.

These readings sometimes combine the UN resolution with the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset. The UN adopted Agenda 2030 in 2015, five years before the Forum launched that initiative.
