What are the Sustainable Development Goals? The SDGs are a set of 17 global goals that are designed to ensure a sustainable future for all. These targets were adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015 and are meant to be achieved by 2030. However, how will these targets affect us? Here’s an overview of the SDGs and why they matter. And what do they mean? Let’s take a look at how we can achieve them.
The first goal of SDG 1 is to end extreme poverty worldwide by 2030. The SDGs list ten specific targets. There are eleven indicators for measuring progress towards each target. These include free primary and secondary education, equal access to quality pre-primary education, affordable technical and higher education, and universal literacy. The SDGs also call for the elimination of all forms of discrimination in education. They also aim to make schools more sustainable by ensuring that they provide a variety of educational programs for children.
Final Thought
The SDGs aim to make the world a better place. They focus on reducing poverty and hunger. They are interdependent, and governments should work to achieve them. For instance, SDG 9 calls for a reduction of environmental pollution. Those pursuing these goals should work to eliminate poverty, improve education, and improve access to clean water. By using these objectives, public health officials can set an agenda for action and use them as a platform for their advocacy.
