ALERT ALL CANADIANS 2030

Certainly! The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, serves as a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet. At its core are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which call for urgent action by all countries, both developed and developing, in a global partnership. These goals recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies to improve health, education, reduce inequality, spur economic growth, tackle climate change, and preserve our oceans and forests1.

Here’s a concise list of the 17 SDGs:

No Poverty (SDG 1): End poverty in all its forms everywhere.
Zero Hunger (SDG 2): Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.
