Sustainability goals
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 global goals to promote a sustainable and equitable future for all. They cover a wide range of issues, including eradicating poverty, providing access to quality education, combating climate change and protecting the oceans. These goals provide a structured and comprehensive framework that addresses the most pressing global challenges while defining concrete actions and targets to solve them. In addition, we have introduced the goal "More animal welfare" to promote the welfare and rights of animals. Discover how you too can contribute to a better world through education and engagement.
The SDGs at a glance
Here we present the 17 SDGs
The SDGs are ideal for the e-learning program for young people as they provide a holistic and interdisciplinary basis for learning. They promote a deep understanding of the links between social, economic and environmental aspects of sustainability. Thus, they help young people to understand global challenges and develop critical thinking, which strengthens their capacity to act and become responsible citizens. To ensure a fairer and more sustainable future, it is essential to understand and actively support these goals.
