What are the 17 Goals for Human Development ?
ZWDP has been collaborating with the Catholic Church in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on the development of the 17 Goals for Human Development, see initial Portuguese language version.
ZWDP aims to adapt this work to support the shift from the 3 dimensions of sustainable development – social, economic, environmental – to the 5 actions areas of critical importance to humanity and the planet; people, planet, prosperity, peace and partnership.
This feeds into ongoing public health work “Seizing the opportunity from a public health perspective“.
We hope to produce english and german language versions.
17 Goals for Human Development launched on Thursday 29th May 2025 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and celebrated with a dedicated illumination of the Christ the Redeemer Statue.
