17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be achieved by year :

Appeared in: IGNOU PB. Bsc. Nsg. Entrance-2025

Explanation

The United Nations established the '2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development' in 2015.
This agenda includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with 169 associated targets.
The universal deadline for achieving these goals is explicitly set for the year 2030, making it a 15-year plan (2015-2030).

Option A: 2025 is too early. While some programs have intermediate goals, the final deadline for the comprehensive 17 SDGs is 2030.
Option B: 2035 is incorrect. The established timeline for the SDGs is from 2016 to 2030.
Option D: 2040 extends beyond the 15-year framework set by the UN's 2030 Agenda.

Clinical Relevance

Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Timeline for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
SDG 3, 'Good Health and Well-being,' directly guides global and national health policies, impacting nursing practice in areas like maternal/child health, infectious disease control, and universal health coverage.
Nurses are frontline workers essential for achieving SDG 3 targets through health promotion, disease prevention, and patient care.
What if? If the question was about the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the precursor to the SDGs, the target year would have been 2015.

How to Approach the Question

Identify the core subject of the question: the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Recall or identify the official name of the UN agenda associated with the SDGs, which is the '2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development'.
The name of the agenda itself contains the target year.
Select the option that matches this key date.
