The adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in September 2015 was preceded by a consultative process that spanned several years. Launched with the UN Conference on Sustainable Development in 2012, it involved various thematic and national consultations, expert group initiatives and intergovernmental stages in the form of an Open Working Group of UN Member States convening in 2013 and 2014 and intergovernmental negotiations during 2015. Civil society played an active role throughout this process. Civil society groups strongly advocated for an ambitious and holistic agenda covering a wide set of objectives across social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainable development.
