FAQs on Millennium Development & Sustainable Development Goals (Hindi)

1. What's the difference between Millennium Development Goals and Sustainable Development Goals?
Ans. The MDGs (2000-2015) focused on eight poverty-reduction targets for developing nations, while SDGs (2015-2030) expand to 17 universal goals addressing poverty, inequality, climate change, and environmental sustainability for all countries. SDGs are broader, more inclusive, and emphasise environmental protection alongside development.
2. How many Sustainable Development Goals are there and what do they cover?
Ans. There are 17 Sustainable Development Goals with 169 targets designed to address global challenges comprehensively. They cover poverty elimination, quality education, gender equality, clean water, affordable energy, decent work, industry innovation, reduced inequalities, sustainable cities, responsible consumption, climate action, marine life, terrestrial ecosystems, peace, and partnerships for implementation.
3. Which Millennium Development Goals were achieved by 2015 and which ones failed?
Ans. The MDGs achieved significant progress in reducing extreme poverty, improving child mortality rates, and expanding primary education access. However, targets on maternal mortality, environmental sustainability, and gender equality faced implementation challenges, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Success varied considerably across regions and development indicators.
4. What's the main reason SDGs replaced MDGs in 2015?
Ans. The SDGs replaced MDGs because the original goals expired in 2015 and left critical areas unaddressed-climate change, environmental degradation, and inequality persisted. The new framework adopted a universal approach applicable to all nations rather than just developing countries, with greater emphasis on sustainability and interconnected global challenges.
5. How do Sustainable Development Goals relate to environmental protection and climate action?
Ans. SDG 13 specifically addresses climate action, while SDG 14 and 15 focus on marine and terrestrial ecosystems respectively. These goals recognise that environmental sustainability underpins all development efforts. Climate change mitigation, biodiversity conservation, and responsible resource management are integrated throughout the entire SDG framework for balanced human-environment development.
