Answer:

A. All of these

• Historical Context: The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were conceptualized during the Rio+20 Conference in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2012. They officially succeeded the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which expired in 2015. Agenda 2030: On September 25, 2015, the UN General Assembly adopted the resolution titled "Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development". It consists of 17 global goals and 169 targets designed to be achieved by the year 2030. Universal Applicability: Unlike the MDGs, which focused primarily on developing nations, the SDGs are universal and apply equally to all developed and developing nations. They are non-binding on member states.
