is about strengthening and streamlining cooperation between nation-states, both developed and developing, using the sdgs as a shared framework and a shared vision for defining that collaborative way forward. it seeks to promote international trade and an equitable trading system. the goal has 17 targets to be achieved by 2030, broken down into five categories: finance, technology, capacity building, trade and systemic issues. progress towards targets will be measured by 25 indicators. all these targets are regarded as means of implementation targets. with us$5 trillion to $7 trillion in annual investment required to achieve the sdgs, total official development assistance reached us$147.2 billion in 2017. this, although steady, is below the set target. in 2016, six countries met the international target to keep official development assistance at or above 0.7 percent of gross national income. in 2017, international remittances amounted us$613 billion, with 76 percent invested in developing countries. the bond market for sustainable business is also growing. in 2018 global green bonds reached us$155.5billion, up to 78 percent from 2017. humanitarian crises brought on by conflict or natural disasters have continued to demand more financial resources and aid. even so, many countries also require official development assistance to encourage growth and trade. the global
