The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to transform our world. They are a call to action to end
poverty and inequality, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy health, justice and
prosperity. It is critical that no one is left behind.
What are the SDGs?

The SDGs are a roadmap for the world to achieve sustainable development by 2030. They were adopted
by all United Nations member states in 2015. The SDGs are universal and apply to all countries, not just
developing countries.

Why are the SDGs important?

The SDGs are important because they:

Address the root causes of poverty and inequality

Tackle climate change and environmental degradation

Promote health and education

Spur economic growth

Preserve oceans and forests

Ensure that no one is left behind

How do the SDGs work?

The SDGs are interconnected and cross-cutting, meaning that progress in one goal contributes to
progress in others. The SDGs also have indicators to measure progress.

How can individuals contribute to the SDGs?

Individuals can contribute to the SDGs by:

Unplugging appliances when not in use

Opting in for paperless statements

Reporting bullying online

SDG 1

Sustainable Development Goal 1 (SDG 1 or Global Goal 1), one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals
established by the United Nations in 2015, calls for the end of poverty in all forms. The official wording
is: "No Poverty".Member countries have pledged to "Leave No One Behind": underlying the goal is a
"powerful commitment to leave no one behind and to reach those farthest behind first".

SDG 1 aims to eradicate every form of extreme poverty including the lack of food, clean drinking water,
and sanitation. Achieving this goal includes finding solutions to new threats caused by climate change
and conflict. SDG 1 focuses not just on people living in poverty, but also on the services people rely on
and social policy that either promotes or prevents poverty.
SDG 2

Goal 2 is about creating a world free of hunger by [Link] global issue of hunger and food insecurity
has shown an alarming increase since 2015, a trend exacerbated by a combination of factors including
the pandemic, conflict, climate change, and deepening inequalities.

Extreme hunger and malnutrition remains a barrier to sustainable development and creates a trap from
which people cannot easily escape. Hunger and malnutrition mean less productive individuals, who are
more prone to disease and thus often unable to earn more and improve their livelihoods.

2 billion people in the world do not have reg- ular access to safe, nutritious and sufficient food. In 2022,
148 million children had stunted growth and 45 million children under the age of 5 were affected by
wasting.

At the same time, a profound change of the global food and agriculture system is needed if we are to
nourish the more than 820 million people who are hungry and the additional 2 billion people the world
will have by 2050. Increasing agricultural productivity and sustainable food production are crucial to help
alleviate the perils of hunger.

SDG 3

"Good Health and Well-being", is one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the
United Nations in 2015. The official wording is: "To ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at
all ages."[1] The targets of SDG 3 focus on various aspects of healthy life and healthy lifestyle. Progress
towards the targets is measured using twenty-one indicators.[2] SDG 3 aims to achieve universal health
coverage and equitable access of healthcare services to all men and women. It proposes to end the
preventable death of newborns, infants and children under five (child mortality) and end epidemics.[1]

SDG 3 has 13 targets

reducing maternal mortality

ending all preventable deaths under five years of age

fighting communicable diseases

reducing mortality from non-communicable diseases and promoting mental health

preventing and treating substance abuse

reducing road injuries and deaths

granting universal access to sexual and reproductive care, family planning and education

achieving universal health coverage

reducing illnesses and deaths from hazardous chemicals and pollution.

QUALITY EDUCATION

Education liberates the intellect, unlocks the imagination and is fundamental for self-respect. It is the key
to prosperity and opens a world of opportunities, making it possible for each of us to contribute to a
progressive, healthy society. Learning benefits every human being and should be available to all.

ENSURE INCLUSIVE AND EQUITABLE QUALITY EDUCATION AND PROMOTE LIFELONG LEARNING
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL.

TARGETS

1. By 2030, ensure that all girls and boys complete free, equitable and quality primary and
secondary education leading to relevant and effective learning outcomes.
2. By 2030, ensure that all girls and boys have access to quality early childhood development, care
and pre-primary education so that they are ready for primary education.
3. By 2030, ensure that all youth and a substantial proportion of adults, both men and women,
achieve literacy and numeracy.
4. Build and upgrade education facilities that are child, disability and gender sensitive and provide
safe, non-violent, inclusive and effective learning environments for all.

SDG 5

GENDER EQUALITY

Gender bias is undermining our social fabric and devalues all of us. It is not just a human rights issue; it is
a tremendous waste of the world’s human potential. By denying women equal rights, we deny half the
population a chance to live life at its fullest. Political, economic and social equality for women will
benefit all the world’s citizens. Together we can eradicate prejudice and work for equal rights and
respect for all.

ACHIEVE GENDER EQUALITY AND EMPOWER ALL WOMEN AND GIRLS.

1. End all forms of discrimination against all women and girls everywhere.
2. Eliminate all forms of violence against all women and girls in the public and private spheres,
including trafficking and sexual and other types of exploitation.
3. Eliminate all harmful practices, such as child, early and forced marriage and female genital
mutilation.
4. Adopt and strengthen sound policies and enforceable legislation for the promotion of gender
equality and the empowerment of all women and girls at all levels.
SDG 6

CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION

One in three people live without sanitation. This is causing unnecessary disease and death. Although
huge strides have been made with access to clean drinking water, lack of sanitation is undermining these
advances. If we provide affordable equipment and education in hygiene practices, we can stop this
senseless suffering and loss of life.

ENSURE AVAILABILITY AND SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF WATER AND SANITATION FOR ALL.

1. By 2030, achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all.
2. By 2030, achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all and end open
defecation, paying special attention to the needs of women and girls and those in vulnerable
situations.
3. By 2030, improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing
release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater
and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally.
4. By 2020, protect and restore water-related ecosystems, including mountains, forests, wetlands,
rivers, aquifers and lakes.

SDG 7

AFFORDABLE AND CLEAN ENERGY

Renewable energy solutions are becoming cheaper, more reliable and more efficient every [Link]
current reliance on fossil fuels is unsustainable and harmful to the planet, which is why we have to
change the way we produce and consume energy. Implementing these new energy solutions as fast as
possible is essential to counter climate change, one of the biggest threats to our own survival.

ENSURE ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE, RELIABLE, SUSTAINABLE AND MODERN ENERGY FOR ALL.

1. By 2030, ensure universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services.
2. By 2030, double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency.
3. By 2030, enhance international cooperation to facilitate access to clean energy research and
technology, including renewable energy, energy efficiency and advanced and cleaner fossil-fuel
technology, and promote investment in energy infrastructure and clean energy technology.
4. By 2030, expand infrastructure and upgrade technology for supplying modern and sustainable
energy services for all in developing countries, in particular least developed countries, small
island developing States and landlocked developing countries, in accordance with their
respective programmes of support.
