The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 goals defined by the United Nations to tackle the world’s biggest problems by 2030.
The goals form a useful lens through which to look at the most pressing global issues. Malnutrition, gender inequality, poverty, climate change, injustice and more demand actions from all of us and specially from the young.
More than 40% of the global population are between the ages of 10 and 24 – the largest youth population ever. To solve the world’s problems, the next generation needs to know what those problems are. A good way to ensure this is to teach them about the SDGs.
