Sustainable Development Goals 17 : 

 In 2015, world leaders agreed to 17 Global Goals (officially known as the Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs). These goals have the power to create a better world by 2030, by   ending poverty,  fighting inequality, and addressing the urgency of climate change .(United  Nations, 2022) 






  : The first goal

 to eradicate poverty: The Sustainable Development Goals represent a bold commitment to end the path that the world began at the beginning of the third millennium to end poverty in all its forms and dimensions by 2030. This effort includes targeting the most vulnerable groups, increasing access to basic resources and services, and supporting locals.

 : The second goal


 Zero Hunger: The Sustainable Development Goals aim to end all forms of hunger and malnutrition by 2030 and ensure that all people, especially children - have access to adequate and nutritious food all year round. This effort involves promoting sustainable agricultural practices, which include supporting small farmers and achieving equal access to land, technology, and markets. It also requires international cooperation to ensure investment in infrastructure and technology to improve agricultural productivity. Combined with the other 

.goals listed here, we can already end hunger by 2030 (United Nations, 2022)







The third goal:

 Good health and well-being: The Sustainable Development Goals make a bold commitment to ending epidemics of tuberculosis, malaria, AIDS, and other communicable diseases by 2030. Pursuing this goal includes universal health coverage and access to safe, affordable medicines and vaccines for all. Supporting vaccine research and development is an essential part of this  .endeavor as well (United Nations, 2022)

 : Fourth Goal

 Quality Education: Achieving inclusive and quality education for all confirms the conviction that education is one of the most powerful and stable means of achieving sustainable development. This goal ensures that all girls and boys, complete free primary and secondary education by 2030. It also aims to provide equal access to affordable vocational training, eliminate disparities in access to education based on gender or wealth, and achieve universal access to high-quality   .education (United Nations, 2022)‏‏









Goal Five: 

Gender Equality: The Sustainable Development Goals aim to end discrimination against women and girls everywhere. Significant inequalities persist in the labor market in some 

.regions, with women, systematically denied equal access to jobs (United Nations, 2022)












 : Sixth goal

Clean water and hygiene: Ensuring universal access to safe and affordable drinking water by 2030 requires increased investments in infrastructure, sanitation, and hygiene promotion at all levels. Also, protecting and restoring water-related ecosystems in forests, mountains, wetlands, and rivers is essential if we are to mitigate water scarcity. More international cooperation is also needed to encourage water efficiency and support treatment technologies in developing .countries (United Nations, 2022)







: Goal 7

 Clean and Affordable Energy: Ensuring universal access to affordable electricity by 2030 requires increased investment in clean energy sources such as solar, wind, and thermal energy. The adoption of cost-effective standards for a wide range of technologies would reduce global electricity consumption in buildings and industry by 14 percent. This is equivalent to the production of nearly 1,300 medium-sized power plants. Expanding infrastructure and upgrading technology to provide clean energy in all developing countries is a critical goal that can .encourage growth and help the environment (United Nations, 2022)









 : Goal 8

Decent work and economic growth: The Sustainable Development Goals encourage sustained economic growth, increased levels of productivity, and technological innovation. In this regard, encouraging entrepreneurship, creating job opportunities, and taking effective measures to eliminate forced labor, slavery, and human trafficking are crucial factors in achieving the overall goal of achieving. full and productive employment and decent work for all women and men by .2030 (United Nations, 2022) 










 : Goal 9 

 Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure: Today, more than 4 billion people in the world do not have access to the Internet—90 percent of them are in the developing world. Bridging this digital divide is crucial to ensuring equal access to information and knowledge, as well as encouraging .innovation and entrepreneurship (United Nations, 2022)









 : Goal 10 

 Reduce inequalities: Income inequality is a global problem that requires global solutions, including improving regulation and supervision of financial markets and institutions and encouraging development assistance and foreign direct investment in areas of greatest need. Facilitating the safe migration and movement of people is also key to bridging the growing .gap (United Nations, 2022)










 : Goal 11 

 Sustainable Cities and Communities: Extreme poverty is often concentrated in urban areas, and national and local governments struggle to accommodate the growing population in those areas. Working to make cities safe and sustainable requires ensuring people's access to safe and affordable housing, improving the environment for slums and informal settlements, investing in public transportation, creating green public spaces, and improving inclusive and participatory .urban planning and management systems (United Nations, 2022)










 : Goal 12 

 Sustainable production and consumption: A large share of the world's population still consumes too little to meet their basic needs. The efficiency of food production and supply chains could be raised if consumers and retailers halved the output of food waste per capita at the global level, which in turn could help achieve food security and shift the economy towards more resource-efficient patterns (United Nations, 2022)









: Coal 13 

Climate Action: No country in the world does not directly suffer from the serious effects of climate change. In this regard, efforts to help areas most at risks, such as landlocked countries and island states, adapt to climate change must go hand in hand with efforts to integrate disaster risk reduction measures into national strategies. With political will and a wide range of technological measures in place, the increase in average global temperature can still be limited to two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. This requires urgent collective action by all countries of the .world (United Nations, 2022)








 : Goal 14 

life underwater: The Sustainable Development Goals seek to sustainably manage and protect marine and coastal ecosystems from pollution, as well as address the effects of ocean acidification. Promoting the conservation and sustainable use of ocean-based resources through  international law would help mitigate some of the challenges facing our oceans (United Nations,  2022)








 : Goal 15 

Life on land: The Sustainable Development Goals seek to conserve and restore the use of terrestrial ecosystems such as forests, wetlands, drylands, and mountains by 2020. Halting deforestation is also vital to mitigating the effects of climate change. Urgent action must be taken to limit the loss of natural habitats and biodiversity that are part of the common heritage of all .humankind (United Nations, 2022)








 : Goal 16

 Peace, justice, and strong institutions: The Sustainable Development Goals seek to significantly reduce all forms of violence, and work with governments and local communities to find durable solutions to conflict and insecurity. Strengthening the rule of law and promoting human rights is central to this process, as well as efforts to reduce the flow of illicit arms and enhance the  .participation of developing countries in global governance institutions (United Nations, 2022)






: Goal 17 

Companies: The SDGs seek to enhance North-South and South-South cooperation by supporting national plans to achieve all the goals. Promoting international trade and helping developing countries to increase their exports is part of achieving a rule-based and equitable global trading 

.(United Nations, 2022) system that is fair, open, and mutually beneficial
