   Implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is the central task in the international development endeavour. While facing a sluggish world economic recovery, widening development gap between the North and the South, the international community is also confronted with challenges like the refugee crisis, terrorism, public health threats and the climate change. All countries should work together to match words with deeds and translate commitment into reality by earnestly implementing the 2030 Agenda, jointly embarking on the path of equitable, open, all-round, innovation-driven and sustainable development and improving the well-being of mankind.
  As the largest developing country in the world, China has always given top priority to development. China has made remarkable progress toward the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) in the first 15 years of the new century that have not only advanced domestic development in an all-round way, but also made a remarkable contribution to international development cooperation and global progress in MDGs. Now, China attaches great importance to the 2030 Agenda. The 13th Five-Year Plan was reviewed and approved by the Fourth Session of the 12th National People’s Congress in March 2016, linking the 2030 Agenda with domestic mid-and-long term development strategies.
   To guide and advance the implementation efforts, China formulates this China’s National Plan on Implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (hereinafter referred to as National Plan). Drawing on the achievements and experience of China’s development, the National Plan analyzes challenges and opportunities in implementing the 2030 agenda, lays out the guiding thoughts, general principles and approaches for the implementation, as well as specific plans for the implementation of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and 169 targets.
