A viral graphic, which lists several points, claiming to show the United Nations' (UN) 'Agenda 2030 Mission Goals' has gone viral on social media.

  • It mentions that agenda in connection with a 'New World Order', a conspiracy theory which believes in a emerging totalitarian world government.

What points does it make?: It mentions that the UN is attempting to form a global government, police force, army, bank, and currency, along with focusing on depopulation, introducing Artificial Intelligence-based courts and mandatory multiple vaccines, among other claims.

(Archives of more claims can be seen here and here.)

Is it true?: No, there are no credible sources to back the claim.

  • The only UN agenda for 2030 are the Sustainable Development Goals, which has set guidelines for people to works towards bettering the planet, peace, and prosperity.

  • We saw that this list included goals to end poverty and hunger, while ensuring improved nutrition, sustainable farming, gender equality, access to affordable and sustainable energy, reducing inequality, ensuring sustainable production and consumption, providing access to justice, and many more.

  • None of these points made any mention of a global system of governance, banking, currency, defense, or any of the statements in the claim.

  • We also looked for news reports related to the UN and a 'new world order,' but did not come across any.

  • To verify the authenticity of the claim, The Quint reached out to UN spokesperson Florencia Soto Nino-Martinez over email, who said, "the image is incorrect," and redirected us to the same document mentioned in this report.

Conclusion: A fake graphic claiming to list the UN's 'New World Order' agenda for 2030 has gone viral on social media.
