What’s the SDGs？
Sustainable Development Goals abbreviation SDGs.
The United Nations posits that sustainable development entails achieving a development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. To realize sustainable development, there must be a harmonious coordination of three core elements: economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental protection.
In the year 2015, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development,” which outlined 17 sustainable development goals and 169 specific indicators across various domains such as economic growth, education, health, employment opportunities, climate change, and environmental conservation. These goals are applicable to all countries and people worldwide. Leaders of nations also pledged to commit to the implementation of each sustainable development goal over the following 15 years (2015 to 2030), with a focus on eradicating poverty, protecting the environment, and ensuring that everyone can share in peace, security, and prosperity.
The 17 sustainable development goals are primarily categorized into six major areas: poverty, health, education, safety, sustainable development, and the environment.
