The Department of Sustainable Development established in Central Statistics Organization in Aden in September 2021, then continued as a general administration in 2022 after activating the office of CSO in Aden. This update came as a result of the global trend that began in 2015 in launching the Millennium Sustainable Development Goals, which set in 8 goals, and then other goals were added to reach 17 goals.
It included 169 goals and 232 objectives in which the world seeks to achieve progress by the year 2030. This came as a result of global needs to preserve the planet Earth, ensure a decent life for human, and preserve natural resources.
