Goal 7 of MDG's addresses the immense task of "ensuring environmental sustainability" through four key targets.
Target 7A can be understood based on two fully distinct components: (i) Integration of the principles of sustainable development into country policies and (ii) reversion of the loss of environmental resources. Target 7B addresses the reduction in biodiversity loss. The other two targets are related to access to water and sanitation (Target 7C) as well as life conditions in human settlements (Target 7D).
MDG 7 is disaggregated in both targets and indicators as to measure progress towards achievement of the Goal as set by international consensus in the United Nations Summit of the Millennium in 2000 and updated in 2008.
