The European Union Development Policy and Achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe the European Union's (EU) developing approach and governance in the implementation of the sustainable development agenda of the United Nations (UN). UN's sustainable development goals are more vibrant to maintain peace and stability in the world. The EU's Global Gateway and Asia-Europe connectivity programme are supporting other nations to work on the SDGs. As a regional organisation, the EU shows enormous intention to eliminate poverty, malnutrition and famine, establish peace, respect for human rights and minority rights, and maintain global warming, biodiversity and the climate. Moreover, the EU also formed bilateral and multilateral level cooperation across the world for the establishment of democratic rule, peace, and prosperity. The EU's policy formulation keeps working on economic, social, and environmental development issues at the global level and supporting the UN mission across the world in different sectors. This research is based on qualitative analysis using primary and secondary literature. In addition, this study also uses the empirical method to discuss the main research gaps and answer major questions related to the SDGs. As a result, the EU has started significant work to achieve the objectives of the SDGs of the UN. The EU has also launched various development programs for the implementation of the SDGs in its member states. In conclusion, the EU's other institutions have been providing funds in different sectors in the Asian, African, Latin American, and Pacific countries under the SDGs.
