The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 interconnected goals outlined by the United Nations (UN) to achieve a more sustainable future for all people by addressing global challenges including poverty, inequality, and climate change (United nations, n.d.). Both the NZDF and Dementia plan reflect aspects of the SDGs, including:

  • Good health and wellbeing with a focus on dementia prevention and living well with dementia;
  • Reduce inequalities and discrimination against those with dementia and their carers;
  • Peace, Justice, and Strong institutions by standing up for the rights of those with dementia;
  • Sustainable cities.
