Categories

End poverty

Since 1990, extreme poverty rates have been cut by 50%. But one in five people in developing regions still live on less than USD 1.90 a day.

End hunger

It is time to rethink how we grow, share and consume our food if we are to nourish today’s 795 million hungry people.

Healthy lives

Sustainable development depends on ensuring healthy lives. More efforts are needed to increase life expectancy.

Quality education

Basic literacy skills have improved tremendously, yet bolder efforts are needed for achieving universal education goals.

Clean energy

The goal is universal access to modern energy services, improved efficiency and more renewable sources.

Gender equality

Equality for women and girls is not only a fundamental human right, it will fuel sustainable economies and benefit societies at large.

Economic growth

The creation of quality jobs will remain a major challenge for almost all economies well into the future.

Water and sanitation

Due to poor infrastructure, millions of people die from diseases associated with inadequate water supply, sanitation and hygiene.

Sustainable consumption

Responsible consumption and production aims at “doing more and better with less,” resource and energy efficiency and access to a better quality of life for all.

Sustainable cities and communities

Cities enable people to advance socially and economically, but some cities face congestion, a shortage of adequate housing and declining infrastructure.

Resilient infrastructure

Without technology and innovation, industrialization will not happen, and without industrialization, development will not happen.

Reduce inequality everywhere

To reduce inequality, policies should be universal in paying attention to the needs of disadvantaged and marginalized populations.

Life on land

Forest cover 30% of the Earth’s surface and are key to combating climate change, protecting biodiversity and the homes of the indigenous population.

Climate action

Climate change is now affecting every country on every continent, disrupting national economies and affecting lives.

Life below water

Careful management of this essential global resource is a key feature of a sustainable future.
