SDG stands for Sustainable Development Goals. It is a globally recognized framework consisting of 17 goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015. The SDGs were formulated to address pressing global challenges and create a more sustainable future for all.
The Sustainable Development Goals aim to tackle interconnected issues such as poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, and social injustice. They provide a comprehensive roadmap to guide countries and organizations in their efforts to achieve sustainable development by 2030.
Each goal has specific targets and indicators that nations are encouraged to adopt and work towards. The 17 goals encompass various aspects of sustainable development, including eradicating poverty and hunger, ensuring quality education and healthcare, achieving gender equality, promoting clean energy and sustainable cities, conserving biodiversity and protecting ecosystems, fostering peaceful societies, and promoting partnerships for sustainable development.
The SDGs recognize the importance of a holistic approach to development, considering the economic, social, and environmental dimensions. They emphasize the need for global cooperation, multi-stakeholder partnerships, and inclusive participation to address these complex challenges.
The Sustainable Development Goals have become a guiding framework for governments, businesses, civil society organizations, and individuals globally, serving as a common language and mobilizing action towards a more equitable, resilient, and sustainable planet.
