What is SDG 9
This is a big one. Big as in
skyscrapers, cargo ships, and building
cities. Global Goal 9: Industry,
Innovation, and Infrastructure. It’s all
about building the MOST sustainable
future for everyone around the world.
As countries build cities or develop
economically, Global Goal 9 is here
to make sure that this happens in a
socially and environmentally
responsible way.
Infrastructure
A world with no slums, where everyone has access to sustainable resilient
materials to build a safe, secure home. Where rural communities can access
markets because roads have been built.
Innovation
A world where countries have access equal access to cutting edge technology so
humans can advance and progress together.
Industry
A world where companies and countries make clean sustainable products using
renewable energy and also share innovative knowledge equally with one another. And
use raw materials at a sustainable pace.
Is Global Goal 9 achievable?
There are 6.8 billion in the world today. This all happened in the last twenty years.
By the end of 2016, India will have 200 million smartphone users and two years after that
Indonesia will have over 100 million.

If you guessed the Netherlands, well done. The Netherlands has a pretty fantastic
plan for sustainable business and is incorporating innovative technology into
government programs. And sustainability issues are part of the school
curriculum, too. In addition to this, the Netherlands has high public engagement,
and strong public-private relationships, which fosters growth for both sides.
What tactics will be used to accomplish this goal?
– In the US, chemical companies and even universities have focused on
banning toxic chemicals and promoting awareness on how to properly dispose
of harmful toxic chemicals. This is important. But, what’s more important is
creating alternatives to current toxic chemicals used in certain industries.
– Take an example from the Netherlands again. An active and educated civil
society is a powerful thing. A combination of high civil engagement can make
a big difference in promoting good governance, and getting projects going in
terms of infrastructure.
