The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, comprise a comprehensive set of seventeen interconnected objectives intended to function as a “shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future.” Each SDG is succinctly represented by a short title, ranging from eradicating poverty (SDG 1) and ensuring zero hunger (SDG 2) to promoting good health and well-being (SDG 3) and fostering quality education (SDG 4). The SDGs address a broad spectrum of global challenges, including gender equality (SDG 5), clean water and sanitation (SDG 6), affordable and clean energy (SDG 7), decent work and economic growth (SDG 8), industry, innovation, and infrastructure (SDG 9), reduced inequalities (SDG 10), sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11), responsible consumption and production (SDG 12), climate action (SDG 13), life below water (SDG 14), life on land (SDG 15), peace, justice, and strong institutions (SDG 16), and partnerships for the goals (SDG 17). These goals collectively strive to address pressing global issues and promote a more sustainable and equitable future for all.
