Fake image circulated to impersonate official U.N. 2030 Agenda goals

Context

A Facebook user recently posted a list (archived here) of supposed U.N. 2030 Agenda goals, captioned, "Starmer's WEF agenda for us." 

The list, which resembles a newspaper advertisement, features 25 items under the headings "NEW WORLD ORDER" and "UN Agenda 2030 Mission Goals," with goals such as "one world government," "end of home and car ownership," and "government-raised children." 

A similar image has also been shared on X (formerly Twitter), garnering more than 100,000 views (archived here).

However, this list is fake and bears no relation to the actual U.N. 2030 Agenda.

In fact

We contacted a United Nations representative, who directed us to the U.N.'s website for the official description of the Sustainable Development Goals. 

The real U.N. 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development goals do not include any targets in the online image. The U.N.'s 17-goal 2030 Agenda is a global action plan aimed at eradicating poverty, promoting sustainable development, and ensuring equality and environmental protection.

Many of the fake goals circulating online are tied to popular conspiracy theories. For instance, the goal "Humans concentrated into 15-minute zones" references the "15-minute city" urban planning concept, which has been widely misrepresented in conspiratorial discussions online. 

Similarly, the claim "End of private farms and vegetable gardens" mirrors a debunked conspiracy from earlier this year, falsely alleging that the World Bank advocated for eliminating farming to reduce carbon emissions. 

The U.N. 2030 Agenda has been the focus of various conspiracy theories, and comparable fabricated goal lists (an example is archived here) emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

In 2023, Logically Facts addressed a similar claim regarding the U.N.'s Sustainable Development Goals, again falsely presenting a list of invented objectives. 

The U.K.'s Prime Minister Keir Starmer has also been falsely linked to similar conspiracies. Logically Facts fact-checked a claim suggesting that the World Health Organization had chosen Keir Starmer as "the next puppet Prime Minister of the United Kingdom." This echoes the Facebook post's claim of "Starmer's WEF agenda for us."

The verdict

The list is fake. The actual United Nations 2030 agenda goals do not correspond to the list in the image.
