Do you know what the
17 Sustainable Development Goals are?
Even if you don’t, you’ll hear a lot about them in the next few years.
They are 17 targets established by the UN in the 2030 Agenda to eradicate poverty and achieve a more sustainable, just world.
Their fulfilment requires the involvement of all citizens, leaving no one behind. They address fundamental human rights and focus on five main areas:
people, planet, prosperity, peace, and partnership.
EXAMPLES TO FOLLOW
