About the Sustainable Development Goals
Our planet is a beautiful place. We can easily forget how
much it has to offer because we are constantly being reminded
of the challenges we face daily, from inequalities to poverty
to climate change. If nothing changes to stop, prevent or
reverse these challenges, it will only get worse. That is why
the United Nations exists.
Everything we stand for is to create a brighter future for
every individual, where everyone can thrive and reach their
potential. We want to preserve the good that exists in people,
places and the planet and put an end to issues that takes
hope away from us. That is why world leaders came together
in 2015 and mobilised the 2030 Agenda: a set of 17 goals
for sustainable development.
This matters to each of us because we are all responsible
for being a part of the change. Our actions today affect our children
tomorrow. Everyone deserves a fair and equal chance in life. Through
the goals, we can reach far and wide because the goals are universal,
they leave no one behind. It’s also important to understand that these
goals are interconnected. We cannot separate poverty from hunger, or
education from women’s empowerment and so on. If we can grasp that,
we are closer to understanding the needs that must be met, and in turn
we are closer to achieving the 17 goals. It’s time to give back to the
planet what the planet has given to us. It’s simple and there is no cost.
