The U.S. under the Trump administration stated that it “rejects and denounces” the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), the key global goals adopted by nations unanimously in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, aimed at tackling global environmental and social challenges. The announcement was made by Counselor for Economic and Social Affairs (ECOSOC) at the U.S. Mission to the UN Edward Heartney at the General Assembly. In his remarks Heartney said that “Agenda 2030 and the SDGs advance a program of soft global governance that is inconsistent with U.S. sovereignty and adverse to the rights and interests of Americans,” adding that the U.S. has “set a clear and overdue course correction on “gender” and climate ideology,” that “pervade the SDGs.”
