 INTRODUCTION
~The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (or
Global Goals for sustainable Development) are a
collection of 17 global goals set by the United Nations
General Assembly.

~The Goals are broad and independent, yet each has

a separate lists of targets to achieve. Achieving all
targets would signal accomplishing all 17 goals. The
SGDs cover social and economic development issues.
1. NO
1. NOPOVERTY
POVERTY

People living with blindness and visual impairment are often less
likely to be able to engage in paid work, and therefore are
more likely to live below the poverty line. Every year, poor vision
costs the global economy $272 billion in lost productivity.

Our model of Hospital-Based C ommunity Eye Health

empowers beneficiaries to take ownership of their health care
needs and strengthens the capacity of our local partners by
equipping them with the knowledge, equipment and supplies
they need to be successful. Globally, at least 2.2 billion people
suffer from vision impairment or blindness, of whom at least 1
billion have a vision impairment that is preventable. We strive to
reduce poverty in the countries we work in by providing quality
eye health care to everyone who needs it, regardless of their
ability to pay. When low income residents of developing
countries have poor vision, they lose education and employment
opportunities. If these vision problems go untreated, people are
unable to support themselves and their families, and become
stuck in the cycle of poverty. To address this, Operation Eyesight
works to ensure that families have access to basic necessities,
such as clean water and quality health care.
2. ZERO HUNGER
• END HUNGER, ACHIEVE FOOD SECURITY
AND IMPROVED NUTRITION AND
PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE AGRIC ULTURE
• Hunger is the leading cause of death in
the world. Our planet has provided us
with tremendous resources, but unequal
access and inefficient handling leaves
millions of people malnourished
• If we promote sustainable agriculture with
modern technologies and fair
distribution systems, we c an sustain the
whole world’s population and make
sure that nobody will ever suffer from
hunger again.
• To a c hi ev e this goal India requires a
holistic approac h ensuring ac c essible
and nutritious food to reduce hunger
and malnutrition with the proper
investment in agriculture, changes in
production and consump tion
pattern and eff e c t i v e
implementation of safety net programmes
by the Government at Macro and
Micro Level in ...
3. GOOD HEALTH
ANDWELL-BEING
Good health is essential to sustainable
development and the 2030 Agenda. It focuses on
broader economic and social inequalities,
urbanization, climate crisis, and the continuing
burden of HIV and other infec tious diseases,
while not forgetting emerging challenges such
as non- c ommunic able diseases.[4]
C onsidering the global pandemic of COVID-19,
there is a need to give significant attention to
the realization of good health and well-being on
a global scale.

Progress has been made in inc reasing life

expectancy and reducing some of the common
c auses of c hild and maternal mortality.
Between 2000 and 2016, the worldwide under-
five mortality rate dec reased by 47 perc ent
(from 78 deaths per 1,000 live births to 41
deaths per 1,000 live births).[5] Still, the number
of children dying under age five is very high:
5.6 million in 2016.
4.QUALITY EDUCATION
ENSURE INC LUSIVE AND
EQUITABLE QUALITY
EDUC ATION AND PROMOTE
LIFELONG LEARNING
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL.
Educ ation liberates the intellec t,
unloc ks the imagination and is
fundamental for self-respec t. It is
the key to prosperity and opens
a world of opportunities, making it
possible for eac h of us to
c ontribute to a progressive,
healthy soc iety.
Learning benefits every human
being and should be available
to all.
5.GENDER EQUALITY
Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right,
but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous
and sustainable world. There has been progress over the
last decades, but the world is not on track to achieve
gender equality by 2030.

Women and girls represent half of the world’s population

and therefore also half of its potential. But gender
inequality persists everywhere and stagnates social
progress.
On average, women in the labor market still earn 23
percent less than men globally and women spend
about three times as many hours in unpaid domestic
and c are work as men.

At the c urrent rate, it will take an estimated 300 years

to end child marriage, 286 years to close gaps in legal
protection and remove discriminatory laws, 140 years for
women to be represented equally in positions of power
and leadership in the workplace, and 47 years to
achieve equal representation in national parliaments.

Political leadership, investments and comprehensive

policy reforms are needed to dismantle systemic barriers
to ac hieving Goal 5 Gender equality is a c ross-c utting
objective and must be a key focus of national policies,
budgets and institutions.
6.CLEAN WATER
ANDSA NI TATI O
N SDG 6 is to: "Ensure availability
and sustainable management
of water and sanitation for all."
The Joint Monitoring Programme
(JMP) of WHO and UNIC EF is
responsible for monitoring
progress to ac hieve the first
two targets of this goal.
Important indic ators for this
goal are the percentages of the
population that uses safely
managed drinking water, and
has ac c ess to safely managed
sanitation. The JMP reported in
2017 that 4.5 billion people do
not have safely managed
sanitation. Another indic ator
looks at the proportion of
domestic and industrial
7.AFFORDABLE AND
CLEAN ENERGY
.Progress towards the targets is
measured by six indic ators. Three
out of the five targets are
outc ome targets: Universal access
to modern energy; inc rease
global perc entage of renewable
energy; double the improvement
in energy effic ienc y.
The remaining two targets are
means of implementation targets
to promote ac c ess to researc h,
tec hnology and investments in
c lean energy; and expand and
upgrade energy servic es for
developing c ountries. In other
words, these targets inc lude
ac c ess to affordable and reliable
energy while inc reasing the share
of renewable energy in the global
energy mix. They also foc us on
improving energy effic ienc y,
international c ooperation and
investment in c lean energy
8.DECENT WORK
AND
ECONOMIC
GROWTH SDG 8 has twelve targets in total to be
ac hieved by 2030. Some targets are for
2030; others are for 2020. The first ten are
outc ome targets. These are;
"sustainable ec onomic growth;
diversify, innovate and upgrade for
economic productivity", "promote
polic ies to support job c reation and
growing enterprises", "improve
resourc e effic ienc y in c onsumption and
production", 'full employment and decent
work with equal pay', 'promote youth
employment, education and training', 'end
modern slavery, traffic king, and c hild
labour', 'protect labour rights and promote
safe working environments', 'promote
benefic ial and sustainable tourism',
universal ac c ess to banking, insuranc e
and financ ial servic es. In addition,
there are also two targets for means of
implementation, whic h are: Inc rease
aid for trade support; develop a global
youth employment strategy.
9.INDUSTRY,INNOVATION
AND INFRASTRUCTURE
The first five targets are outc ome
targets: develop sustainable, resilient
and inc lusive infrastruc tures; promote
inc lusive and sustainable
industrialization; inc rease ac c ess to
financ ial servic es and markets; upgrade
all industries and infrastruc tures for
sustainability; enhanc e researc h and
upgrade industrial tec hnologies. The
remaining three targets are means of
implementation targets: Fac ilitate
sustainable infrastruc ture development
for developing c ountries; support
domestic technology development and
industrial diversific ation; universal ac c ess
to information and c ommunic ations
technology.
 10.REDUCE
INEQUALITIES
D
Goal 10 aims to reduc e inequality within and
among c ountries. Inequality starts with the
lottery of birth – who your parents are and
where you are born – that ac c ounts for
variation in the resourc es and opportunities
available to people. The soc ial and
ec onomic inequalities and disadvantages in
early life c an limit opportunities for the
realization of one’s rights and the ability to
realize one’s full potential. Disc rimination
based on age, gender, ethnic or racial group,
disability status, migratory status, residenc e
or other fac tors serve to disadvantage some
individuals in many different and often invisible
ways, throughout their lives. These patterns of
inequality get passed on from generation to
generation. Therefore, early interventions and
investing in all children, especially the poorest
and most marginalized, is c entral to breaking
intergenerational poverty and inequality.
Ac hieving Goal 10 and the SDGs more
broadly requires a deliberate strategy to reac h
the furthest behind, first.
11.SUSTAINABLE
CITIES
AND
COMMINITIES
Goal 11 is about making c ities and
human settlements inclusive, safe,
resilient and sustainable.

Cities represent the future of global living. The

world’s population reached 8 billion on 2022
over half living in urban areas. This figure is only
expec ted to rise, with 70 per c ent of people
expected to live in cities by 2050.
Approximately
1.1 billion people c urrently live in slums or
slum- like conditions in cities, with 2 billion
more expec ted in the next 30 years.

However many of these cities are not ready

for this rapid urbanisation, and it outpac es
the development of housing,
infrastruc ture and services, which led to a
rise in slums or slum-like conditions.

Urban sprawl, air pollution and limited

open public spac es persist in c ities.
12. RESPONSIBLE
CONSUMPTIONAND
PRODUCTION
Goal 12 is about ensuring
sustainable c onsumption and
produc tion patterns, whic h is key to
sustain the livelihoods of c urrent
and future generations.

Our planet is running out of resources,

but populations are c ontinuing to
grow. If the global population
reac hes 9.8 billion by 2050, the
equivalent of almost three planets
will be required to provide the
natural resourc es needed to sustain
c urrent lifestyles.

We need to c hange our

c onsumption habits, and shifting our
energy supplies to more sustainable
ones are one of the main changes
we must make if we are going to
13.CLIMATE ACTION
Every person, in every c ountry in every
c ontinent will be impac ted in some shape or
form by climate change. There is a climate
cataclysm looming, and we are underprepared
for what this could mean.

C limate c hange is c aused by human ac tivities

and threatens life on earth as we know it. With
rising greenhouse gas emissions, c limate
c hange is occurring at rates much faster than
anticipated. Its impac ts c an be devastating
and inc lude extreme and c hanging weather
patterns and rising.

To limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-

industrial levels, emissions must already be
dec reasing and need to be c ut by almost
half by 2030, just seven years away. But, we
are drastic ally off trac k from this target
14.LIFE BELOW WATER
Goal 14 is about c onserving and
sustainably using the oceans, seas
and marine resourc es. Healthy
oc eans and seas are essential to
human existenc e and life on Earth.

The Oc ean is intrinsic to our life on

earth. C overing three-quarters of
the Earth’s surfac e, c ontain 97
perc ent of the Earth’s water, and
represent 99 perc ent of the living
spac e on the planet by volume.

They provide key natural resourc es

inc luding food, medic ines, biofuels
and other produc ts; help with the
breakdown and removal of waste
and pollution; and their c oastal
ec osystems ac t as buffers to
reduc e damage from storms.
15.LIFE ON LAND
Goal 15 is about c onserving life
on land. It is to protec t and
restore terrestrial ec osystems,
sustainably manage forests,
c ombat desertific ation, and halt
and reverse land degradation
and stop biodiversity loss.

Earth’s ec osystems are vital for

sustaining human life, they
c ontribute to over half of global
GDP and enc ompass diverse
c ultural, spiritual, and economic
values.

Between 2015 and 2019, at least

100 million hec tares of healthy
and productive land were
degraded every year, impac ting
the lives of 1.3 billion people.
16.PEACE.JUSTICEAND
STRONG
INSTITUTIONS
Goal 16 is about promoting peac eful
and inc lusive soc ieties, providing
ac c ess to justic e for all and building
effec tive, accountable and inclusive
institutions at all levels. People everywhere
should be free of fear from all forms of
violenc e and feel safe as they go
about their lives whatever their
ethnic ity, faith or sexual orientation.

However, ongoing and new violent

c onflic ts around the world are derailing the
global path to peace and achievement of
Goal 16. Alarmingly, the year 2022
witnessed a more than 50 per cent
increase in conflict-related civilian deaths –
the first since the adoption of Agenda 2030
– largely due to the war in Ukraine.

High levels of armed violence and

insecurity have a destruc tive impac t on a
c ountry’s development, while sexual
violenc e, c rime, exploitation and torture
17.PATNERSHIPS FOR
THE GOALS
Goal 17 is about revitalizing the
global partnership for
sustainable development. The
2030 Agenda is universal and
c alls for ac tion by all c ountries –
developed and developing – to
ensure no one is left behind. It
requires partnerships between
governments, the private sector,
and civil society.

The Sustainable Development

Goals c an only be realized with a
strong commitment to global
partnership and cooperation to
ensure no one is left behind in our
journey to development.
