How many Millenium Development Goals (MDG) were adopted by United Nations?

The United Nations adopted eight Millennium Development Goals in the year 2000.

The figure seven falls short of the actual count of these goals.

The figure five is far below the number that was agreed.

The figure ten overstates the total, which was fixed at eight.

These goals ran through 2015 and were then succeeded by the Sustainable Development Goals.

The very first Millennium Development Goal targeted the eradication of extreme poverty and hunger.
