Global level - from Sustainable Development Goals to the new Noosa Plan

At the global level, the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals as shown in Figure 3, apply to all nations,
including Australia. They are the umbrella policy settings for sustainability and environmental protection,
and serve as a focus for global action, including within BRs. In terms of current activities within the
NBR, the goals are useful benchmarks for the successful governance, management and coordination of
biodiversity and sustainable development in Noosa.
