Abstract
The 2030 Sustainable Development agenda, officially adopted by 193 countries in 2015, is the first global monitoring framework that features mental health, an area critical to development that has previously been neglected and not attracted much-needed investment. Target 3.4 aims at reducing by 2030 premature mortality from noncommunicable diseases by one third, through prevention, treatment, and promotion of mental health and well-being. A specific related indicator is the suicide mortality rate.
