DEVELOPMENT GOALS?
WHAT ARE THE SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT GOALS?
• The Sustainable Development Goals, also known as the Global Goals, are a call from the
United Nations to all countries around the world to address the great challenges that humanity
faces and to ensure that all people have the same opportunities to live a better life without
compromising our planet. Human-kind faces many challenges to ensure that all people have
the same development and well-being opportunities. One of the major recent achievements in
sustainability has been the adoption of Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals.

• The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States
in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now
and into the future. The SDGs, set in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly and
intended to be achieved by the year 2030, and these are part of UN Resolution.
 HOW ARE THE MILLENNIUM
DEVELOPMENT GOALS
DIFFERENT FROM
S U S TA I N A B L E D E V E L O P M E N T
GOALS?
WHAT ARE THE SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT GOALS?
• These are a collection of 17 Sustainable Development Global Goals
designed to be a “blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future
for all”

• These 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are an urgent call for

action by all countries– developed and developing in a global partnership.
They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-
in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce
inequality, and spur economic growth, while tackling climate change and
working to preserve our oceans and forests.

 ICE BREAKER:

GUES S THE PICTURE

 • GOAL 12:
Ensure sustainable consumption and production
patterns.

• Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) is about doing more and better with less. It is
also about decoupling economic growth from environmental degradation, increasing resource
efficiency and promoting sustainable lifestyles.

• SCP is a holistic approach and is about systemic change. It is built around three main
objectives: Decoupling environmental degradation from economic growth, applying life cycle
thinking, and Sizing opportunities for developing countries and “leapfrogging”.
• Implement the 10-Year sustainable consumption and production frame resources.

• Sustainable Management and use of natural resources.

• Have global per capita food waste.

• Responsible management of chemicals generation.

• Substantially reduce waste generation.

• Encourage companies to adopt sustainable practices and sustainability practices.

• Promote sustainable public procurement practices.

• Promote universal understanding of sustainable lifestyles.

• Support developing countries’ scientific and technological capacity for sustainable consumption and
production.
• Develop and implement tools to monitor sustainable tourism.

• Remove market distortions that encourage wasteful consumption.

 • GOAL 13:

Take urgent action to combat climate change and its

impacts.

• Strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters in all countries.
• Integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning.
• Improve education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation,

adaptation, impact reduction and early warning.

• Implement the commitment undertaken by developed-country parties to the United Nations Framework

Convention on Climate Change.

• Promote mechanisms for raising capacity for effective climate change-related planning and management in

least developed countries and small island developing States.

 • GOAL 14:
Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and
marine resources for sustainable development.

• GOAL 15:

Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of

terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests,
combat desertification, and halt and reverse land
degradation and halt biodiversity loss.
 • GOAL 16:
Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable
development, provide access to justice for all and build
ef ective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all
levels.

• GOAL 17:

Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize

the global partnership for sustainable development.
 Eradication of poverty and
hunger so as to ensure a healthy
life.
Foster innovation and resilient
infrastructure by creating communities
and cities capable of producing and
consuming in a sustainable way.
Achieve universal access to basic
services such as water,
sanitation, and sustainable
energy.
Caring for the environment by combating
climate change and protecting oceans and
terrestrial ecosystems.
Promote collaboration between social
actors to create an environment of
peace and sustainable development.
Support the generation for
development opportunities

ALL

Over 844 million people in the world live without access to a basic drinking water service, and 2.3 billion
have no access to a basic sanitation service, resulting in avoidable deaths, chronic disease, fewer hours of
education and low productivity.

One in eight people still lack access to electricity. To ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and
modern energy for all, the use of renewable energy has to increase from the current 25% to 38% by 2025.

Economic growth, social advancement and action against the climate emergency depend largely on investment in
infrastructure, sustainable industrial development and technological progress. Today, about 1 billion people live more
than 2 km from a roadway, 940 million live without electricity, and 663 million lack improved drinking water sources.

Today, cities represent 3 % of the planet's surface and concentrate more than 50 % of the population. A figure
that will rise to 70 % by 2050. In addition, cities generate more than 80 % of the world's gross domestic
product (GDP).
