| Status | DEBUNKED |
| Summary | Proponents claim that the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a covert plan by global elites to establish a one-world government and restrict individual liberties. This theory often links the Agenda to other conspiracies such as the Great Reset and the COVID-19 pandemic. The UN and fact-checkers state that the Agenda is a non-binding set of goals adopted by member states, with no provisions for world government or population control. |
| Origin | The New World Order conspiracy theory dates back to the mid-20th century, but its association with the 2030 Agenda emerged after the Agenda's adoption in 2015, gaining traction during the COVID-19 pandemic. |
| Claimed |
|
| Evidence / consensus | The 2030 Agenda is a non-binding set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals adopted by 193 UN member states in 2015. It does not include provisions for world government, population control, or any of the claimed measures. Experts and fact-checkers have repeatedly debunked these claims. |
