SDG is an advanced enrichment that provides us with deeper lessons and researches about Sustainable Development Goals. These are the goals that are proposed by the United Nations in 2015. There are 17 goals in total such as:
1-No Poverty
2-Zero Hunger
3-Good Health and Well-Being
4-Quality Education
5-Gender Equality
6-Clean Water and Sanitation
7-Affordable and Clean Energy
8-Decent Work and Economic Growth
9-Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
10-Reduced Inequalities
11-Sustainable Cities and Communities
12-Responsible Production and Consumption
13-Climate Action
14-Life Below Water
15-Life on Land
16-Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
17-Partnerships for the Goals.
The 17 goals are very crucial targets in order to develop a sustainable well-being in the globe in many aspects. In order to establish those goals well, we need a great amount of collaboration from all of the countries, citizens and students to learn, apply those goals in real life. More importantly, we need to continue sharing the lessons of the SDGs to other people so that we can build a large community of support and practice. All of the countries can work toward the goals together without thinking about economic status, religions or culture because they are goals for worldwide growth as a whole globe and not for one particular country.
