Unlocking Opportunities: FAO's Role in Implementing Post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals

The SDGs are a new integrated framework for sustainable development, with a focus on areas such as food security, access to food, and agricultural sustainability. FAO is positioned to play a crucial role in supporting countries to meet their SDG commitments by leveraging internal and external initiatives already in place.
