The United Nations set goals in 2000 to improve global conditions, focusing on reducing poverty, improving education, promoting equality, and enhancing health. These goals aim to create a better world for everyone by addressing social and economic challenges. The UN's Millennium Declaration outlines fundamental values and objectives to guide these efforts. The main focus is on the Millennium Development Goals, which aim to tackle issues like extreme poverty, hunger, education, equality, health, and environmental sustainability. The ultimate goal is to create a global partnership for development.
