We Support ‘Leave No One Behind’

Leave no one behind is the central, transformative promise of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals.

It represents the unequivocal commitment of all UN Member States to eradicate poverty in all its forms, end discrimination and exclusion, and reduce the inequalities and vulnerabilities that leave people behind and undermine the potential of individuals and of humanity as a whole.
