“We are the first generation that can end poverty, the last that can end climate change”.
These are the words of the UN Secretary General in 2015.
This was the year that the UN launched their 17 Sustainability Development Goals that are to be achieved by 2030. The attached document lists all 17.
However the 17 goals are better understood by re-arranging them under the 5Ps headings.

Sustainable Cities and Communities – Goal 11
