Unlike the Millennium Development Goals, which primarily focused on developing countries, the Sustainable Development Goals are universal in scope and apply equally to all Member States. The Goals recognize that economic prosperity, social inclusion, environmental protection, and institutional resilience are interconnected and must be pursued simultaneously. They emphasize inclusive development, human rights, gender equality, climate resilience, responsible resource management, and international cooperation while promoting the guiding principle of '''"leaving no one behind."''' | Unlike the Millennium Development Goals, which primarily focused on developing countries, the Sustainable Development Goals are universal in scope and apply equally to all Member States.
