Three Foundation Framework
Understanding the Sustainable Development Goals through the interconnected dimensions of People, Planet and Prosperity.
The SDGs as an Integrated Framework
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals provide a shared framework for addressing important social, environmental and economic challenges.
For an easier understanding of the goals and their relationship to sustainable development, the Mangalam SDG Cell presents the goals through three broad foundation dimensions: People, Planet and Prosperity.
These dimensions are interconnected. Progress in one area can influence progress in another, reinforcing the principle that sustainable development requires an integrated approach.
PEOPLE
Ending poverty and hunger, ensuring health, education, dignity and equality for all.
PLANET
Protecting our planet's natural resources and climate for future generations.
PROSPERITY
Creating a prosperous, inclusive and innovative world that offers opportunity for all.
Three Dimensions, One Sustainable Future
People, Planet and Prosperity should not be viewed as separate priorities. They represent interconnected dimensions of sustainable development.
The success of sustainable development depends on balancing human wellbeing, environmental protection and inclusive economic progress.
