The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a
list of 17 things that the world is trying to make
better by the year 2030. These goals include things
like stoping poverty and hunger, making sure
everyone can go to school, protecting the
environment, and making cities more sustainable.
Each goal has a special setof things we need to do
to make it work. For example, to help with the
clean water and sanitation goal, we need to make
sure that everyone can easily get clean drinking
water and can easily get has acess to proper toilets.
They are created by the United Nations and
promoted as the Global Goals for Sustainable
Development. They started in 2015 and will
continue until 2030. There are 17 main goals and
169 specifc things we aim to achieve to make
those goals happen.
Think of the SDGs as a massive checklist for the
whole world. To make our planet better for
everyone, we all have to team up and get these
things done.
