18. © Crown Copyright 2013 Because there is still a lot to do, there are a new set of targets that will last from 2015 to 2030. They are the Sustainable Development Goals It’s not just world leaders that have come up with these. This time many, many more adults, young people and children were consulted from all sorts of backgrounds, all over the world including here in Wales.
