77 The Sustainable Development Goals were agreed upon at the United

Nations by 193 countries in September 2015 and comprise a series of voluntary commitments to help end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for everyone. It is disappointing, therefore, to discover that over 20% of architecture and planning respondents have not set national targets (though this is less than the 40% figure in the 2017 survey) and almost 30% of architecture respondents and around 40% of planning respondents lack an effective implementation plan (though this is again less than the 70% figure in the 2017 survey).
