In 2015, all countries of the United Nations agreed to a set of 17 global sustainable development
goals (SDGs) to be reached by 2030. This was a remarkable achievement as it represents the first
time in history that all nations have agreed to a shared vision of the future for people, planet,
prosperity, peace, and partnership. Peace Literacy offers a new way of thinking about peace that
can help bring this shared vision into clearer focus and accelerate progress toward all SDGs.
