What are the 12 Millennium Goals?

The 12 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are a set of international development objectives established by the United Nations in 2000, aimed at addressing various global challenges by 2015. They include eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, achieving universal primary education, promoting gender equality, reducing child mortality, improving maternal health, combating diseases, ensuring environmental sustainability, and developing global partnerships for development. These goals sought to improve the lives of people in developing countries and foster sustainable development worldwide. The MDGs were succeeded by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015.
