Both in France and around the world via its development and solidarity policy, France is fully committed to achieving all 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) establish the universal roadmap for sustainable development for 2030 which was adopted by the international community in 2015.
France will focus on five key themes :
- Planet : protect the planet from degradation
- People : end poverty and hunger to ensure that all human beings can fulfil their potential in dignity and equality
- Prosperity : ensure that economic, social and technological progress occurs in harmony with nature
- Peace : foster peaceful, just and inclusive societies
- Partnerships : implement a Global Partnership for Sustainable Development

Green Embassies
French diplomatic representations are also setting an example as regards sustainable development with the “Green Embassies” project. This project, which was launched in 2015 ahead of COP21, is a comprehensive and gradual approach to reducing the environmental footprint of French diplomatic representations abroad.
