What are the Sustainable Development Goals?
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
The 17 SDGs are integrated—they recognize that action in one area will affect outcomes in others, and that development must balance social, economic and environmental sustainability.
Countries have committed to prioritize progress for those who’re furthest behind. The SDGs are designed to end poverty, hunger, AIDS, and discrimination against women and girls.
The creativity, knowhow, technology and financial resources from all of society is necessary to achieve the SDGs in every context. But the real question is, since 2015, where are we today? Have we achieved up to 40% of this? With growing inequalities, gender based vilonce, and the continues discrimination towards LGBTIQ persons can we conclusively measure our progress as underachieved or overachieved.
Only collective action can save us and this can only be through the social inclusion of all persons regardless of Age, SEX or nationality. LGBTIQ persons should be brought to the decision making table.
