The GSP has called for world leaders to adopt a new set of Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs, that will help to shape global policies and actions after the 2015 target date for achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Whereas the MDGs focus on reducing extreme poverty, the SDGs will focus on all three pillars of sustainable development: ending extreme poverty, sharing the benefits of economic development for all of society, and protecting the Earth.
GSP呼吁世界领导人采用新的可持续发展目标（Sustainable Development Goal），简称SDG，从而在千年发展目标（Millennium Development Goals，MDG）于2015年到期后制定新的全球政策。MDG专注于削减极端贫困，而SDG将专注于可持续发展的三大支柱：终结极端贫困、让全社会分享到经济发展的好处，以及保护地球。
