Worldwide pandemic control, climate protection, displacement and migration, digitalisation – Germany's development policy provides answers to the global issues of the future. Our guidelines for this are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations.

Svenja Schulze, Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development
Germany has a special responsibility when it comes to global cooperation – both by building bridges and by providing support. As Development Minister, my focus is on conserving the world's vital natural resources and on creating the right conditions for de­vel­op­ment progress, solidarity and justice. Our objective must be to ensure that everyone in the world is able to enjoy a good life.
