The Sustainable Development Goals, short SDGs, are 17 goals defined by the United Nations in 2015 that promise a better world through their implementation by 2030. By covering all aspects of our daily life, the Sustainable Development Goals are considered a road map to the future of our planet.
All Goals like Gender Equality (Goal #5), Climate Action (Goal #13), Good Health (Goal #3) or Life Below Water (Goal #14) cover the economic, socio-political, and environmental sectors, while at the same time being linked cross-sectionally to each other.
When split up into individual and more concise targets (ranging from 5-19 Targets per Goal), all Targets function as a “To Do” list to define more measurable accountability.
