The 17 Global Goals
Today, the UN gathered to adopt the 17 global goals presented in its 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The actual document in which these objectives are iterated provides supplementary initiatives to ensure that the economic, social, and political intentions of these goals are executed in a precise and ethical manner, securing prosperity, peace, partnership, the welfare of our planet, and the dignity of the people who inhabit its atmosphere.
The global vision declared by the United Nations through these goals will only become a reality through international cooperation and unity - Through a worldly consensus on the crucial necessity to free the world of hunger, poverty, disease, and violence in all its forms and elemental, toxic constructs, and, without question, a comprehensive awareness of each and every sustainable development goal and the principal bases on which these particular series of goals were assembled and inspired.
Goal 1. End Poverty in all its forms everywhere.
Extreme poverty is currently assessed by those living on less than $1.25 a day. By 2030, the UN aims to halve the number of men, women, and children forced to rely on such menial resources and funding through governmental, environmental, and economic policy frameworks. I cannot claim to know what this experience is like, to live on less than two dollars a day, in realms that are very likely so personally costing and horrifically exhausting, as indicated by the measure of these provisions and limited assets, but I do know what it is like to survive on a severely restricted, rationed amount of money. From that perspective, as I cannot do much for these goals while I am stuck in NoVa, I am able to provide solace and a fractional form of compensation through experience. Though my own trials of ‘poverty’ surviving in New York pale in comparison, I know that my attention and voice can shed light on any extreme matter of deprivation and unrelieved destitution. At least for now. Until I can actually take direct action.
Goal 2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.
Sustainable agriculture is key to ending global hunger. The UN calls for greater investment in rural infrastructure and a correctional focus on trade restrictions and sanctions in international markets and trade systems.
Goal 3. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.
By 2030, the UN aims to abolish the AIDS epidemic, tuberculosis, malaria, and other communicable diseases. The research and development of vaccinations and medical care for these particular diseases is also highly supported, in addition to the education for developing countries of global health risks. Also, the goal aims to reduce the global maternal mortality rate to 70 per 100,000 live births.
Goal 4. Ensure Inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
This particular goal calls for global education through high school and emphasizes the need for teacher training in developing countries and regions lacking quality schooling.
Goal 5. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.
The central aims of this goal are to end female genital mutilation, violence against women, and child marriage.
Goal 6. Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.
Goal 7. Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.
Goal 8. Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.
Goal 9. Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation.
Goal 10. Reduce inequality within and among countries.
Goal 11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.
Goal 12. Ensure sustainable consumption and productive patterns.
Goal 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
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 effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels.
Goal 17. Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.
