Understanding the SDGs: A Pathway to a Better Future
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 interconnected global objectives established by the United Nations in 2015, aiming to create a better and more sustainable future by 2030. These goals address the world's most pressing challenges, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace, and justice.
