 SDG goals
• Introduction
• A set of 17 goals for the world’s future, through

 What is new and different
about the 17 SDGs?
• First, and most important, these Goals apply
to every nation … and every sector. Cities,
businesses, schools, organizations, all are
challenged to act. This is called Universality
• Second, it is recognized that the Goals are all
inter-connected, in a system. We cannot aim
to achieve just one Goal. We must achieve
them all. This is called Integration

 Introduction cont’d
• And finally, it is widely recognized that
achieving these Goals involves making very
big, fundamental changes in how we live on
Earth. This is called Transformation

 SDG goals

2030. It is known that more than 800 million
people around the world still live on less than

and improved nutrition and promote
sustainable agriculture. 1 out of every 9 people
on earth who go to bed hungry every night

everything from how much we enjoy life to
