ICAO and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

ICAO’s Strategic Objectives are strongly linked to 15 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Organization is fully committed to work in close cooperation with States and other UN Bodies to support related targets.

ICAO continuously contributes to monitoring efforts of the 2030 Agenda and other development frameworks as appropriate.
