No Poverty

Goal 1End poverty in all its forms everywhere

Active participation in policy development can help to alleviate poverty. It

guarantees that human rights are protected and that every voice is heard, that
intergenerational knowledge is shared, and that innovation and critical thinking are
encouraged at all ages to help individuals and communities transform.

Governments can assist in the creation of an enabling environment for the poor and
marginalized to develop meaningful jobs and job prospects. The private sector has a
critical role in determining whether the growth it generates is inclusive and helps to
alleviate poverty. It has the potential to increase disadvantaged people's economic
options. Science has made a big contribution to eradicating poverty. It has, for
instance, increased access to safe drinking water, reduced mortality from water-
borne diseases, and improved hygiene to reduce health risks associated with
contaminated water and poor sanitation.

Zero Hunger

Goal 2End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote
sustainable agriculture

Supporting local farmers or markets and making sustainable food choices,

promoting good nutrition for everybody, and combating food waste are all things we
can do in our everyday lives at home, at work, and in our community. We may also
use our power as a consumer and voter to pressure corporations and governments
to make the decisions and adjustments necessary to achieve Zero Hunger.

Good Health & Wellbeing

Goal 3Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages

We can begin by making well-informed decisions and vaccinating the children in

order to promote and safeguard our own and others' health. We can educate our
community about the value of good health, healthy lifestyles, and people's rights to
adequate health care, particularly for the most vulnerable, such as women and
children. We could also hold our government, local leaders, and other decision-
makers accountable for their commitments to enhance people's health and access
to health care.

Quality Education

Goal 4Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong
learning opportunities for all

Ask our governments to place education as a priority in both policy and practice.
Encourage our governments to make concrete commitments to provide free
primary school education to all children, including those who are vulnerable or
marginalized.
Gender equality and women’s empowerment

Goal 5Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls

If you're a girl, you have the option of staying in school, empowering other female
peers to do the same, and fighting for your right to sexual and reproductive health
care. You can address unconscious biases and implicit connections that create an
unintended and sometimes undetectable barrier to equal opportunity if you are a
woman. However, if you are a man or a boy, you may engage with women and girls
to promote gender equality and enjoy healthy, respectful relationships. You may
support educational programs to reduce cultural practices such as female genital
mutilation and reform damaging legislation that limit women's and girls' rights and
hinder them from reaching their full potential.

Clean Water & Sanitation

Goal 6Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for
all

Civil society organizations should seek to hold governments accountable, invest in

water research and development, and promote the participation of women, youth,
and indigenous peoples in the governance of water resources. Increased
sustainability and integrity for both human and ecological systems will result from
raising knowledge of these roles and putting them into action.

Affordable & Clean Energy

Goal 7Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all

Investing in renewable energy resources, prioritizing energy efficient practices, and

embracing clean energy technology and infrastructure can help countries expedite
the transition to a more affordable, dependable, and sustainable energy system.
Businesses may help to preserve and conserve ecosystems by committing to get
100% of their operating electricity from renewable sources. Employers can reduce
internal transportation demand by prioritizing telecommunications and incentivizing
less energy-intensive means of transportation, such as rail travel, over automobile
and plane travel. Investors can put more money into sustainable energy services,
allowing a wide supplier base to quickly bring new technologies to market. Plugging
equipment into a power strip and shutting them off fully when not in use, including
the computer, can help you save electricity. You can also cut carbon emissions by
riding a bike, walking, or taking public transportation.

Decent Work & Economic Growth Hunger

Goal 8Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and
productive employment and decent work for all

Investing in high-quality education and training, equipping youth with skills that
match labor market demands, ensuring that they have access to social protection
and basic services regardless of their contract type, and leveling the playing field
are all necessary steps in providing youth with the best chance to transition to a
decent job. This way, regardless of gender, income level, or socioeconomic
background, every striving youth can find meaningful job. Governments can work
together to create economies that are dynamic, sustainable, inventive, and oriented
on people. They have the potential to encourage youth employment, women's
economic empowerment, and decent work for everybody. Protecting the safety of
workers, particularly health workers and those providing critical services, requires
implementing proper health and safety measures and encouraging supportive
working conditions.

Industry, Innovation, & Infrastructure

Goal 9Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable

industrialization and foster innovation

Set standards and support laws to guarantee that company projects and initiatives
are managed in a long-term, sustainable manner. Collaborate with NGOs and the
public sector to help developing countries achieve sustainable growth. Consider
how industry affects your life and well-being, and use social media to urge
legislators to make the SDGs a priority.

Reduced Inequalities

Goal 10 Reduce inequality within and among countries

Reduced inequality necessitates radical transformation. Extreme poverty and

hunger must be eradicated, and more investment in health, education, social
safety, and decent jobs must be made, particularly for young people, migrants and
refugees, and other vulnerable communities. It is critical to empower and
encourage inclusive social and economic prosperity within countries. If we eradicate
discriminatory laws, policies, and practices, we can ensure equal opportunity and
lessen income disparities. We must ensure that poor countries are properly
represented in global decision-making in order for solutions to be more effective,
credible, and responsible. Governments and other stakeholders can also help to
promote safe, regular, and responsible migration, such as through well-planned and
managed policies for the millions of people who have fled their homes in search of a
better life due to war, discrimination, poverty, lack of opportunity, and other factors.

Sustainable Cities

Goal 11 Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and
sustainable

Take an active role in your city's governance and management. Make a case for the
type of city you think you need. Create a vision for your building, street, and
neighborhood, and then put that vision into action. Is there a sufficient number of
jobs? Is it safe for your kids to walk to school? Can you go for a night walk with your
family? What is the distance to the nearest public transportation? What is the
current state of the air? How do you feel about your shared public spaces? The
larger the impact on quality of life in your community, the better the conditions you
create.

Responsible Consumption & Production

Goal 12 Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns

There are two primary methods for assisting: 1. 2. Reducing your trash. Being
conscious of what you buy and, whenever possible, opting for a sustainable option.
Make sure you don't throw food out and limit your use of plastic, which is one of the
ocean's biggest polluters. Every day, you can help by carrying a reusable bag,
refusing to use plastic straws, and recycling plastic bottles. Making well-informed
purchases is also beneficial. For example, after agriculture, the textile industry is
now the second largest polluter of pure water, and many fashion businesses abuse
textile workers in underdeveloped countries. You can make a difference by
purchasing from sustainable and local sources and exerting pressure on businesses
to adopt sustainable practices.

Climate Action

Goal 13 Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts*

There are numerous methods to assist, including: Purchase better bulbs, unplug the
plugs, weatherize your home and power it with renewable energy, invest in energy-
efficient appliances, decrease water waste, eat the food you buy and produce less
of it meat, buy better bulbs, reconsider planes, trains, and automobiles, and shrink
your carbon footprint.

Life Below Water

Goal 14 Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources
for sustainable development

Only expanded international collaboration to conserve fragile ecosystems can

ensure the long-term viability of open ocean and deep sea areas. To conserve
biodiversity and ensure the fishing industry's long-term viability, comprehensive,
effective, and equitably managed systems of government-protected areas should
be developed. On a local level, we should choose ocean-friendly items and eat only
what we need when purchasing or consuming food originating from oceans. Starting
with certified products is a smart idea. We should reduce our use of plastic as much
as possible and hold beach clean-ups. Most importantly, we can communicate the
importance of marine life and the need to safeguard it.

Life on Land

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

Recycling, eating a locally based, sustainably derived diet, and consuming only
what we need are some of the things we can do to help. To avoid animal
disturbance, we must be courteous of wildlife and only participate in ecotourism
programs that are run properly and ethically. Protected places that are well-
managed promote healthy ecosystems, which keep humans healthy. As a result,
ensuring local community participation in the development and maintenance of
these protected places is vital. As a result, startups that can demonstrate scalable
reforestation strategies or other terrestrial ecosystems preservation technologies
are of huge interest to governments and industry alike, each of which are eager to
identify investment strategies that can prove to be sustainable from both an
environmental and financial perspective.

Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions

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

Make use of your constitutional right to hold elected authorities responsible. Use
your right to freedom of information to contact your elected officials and express
your thoughts. Encourage inclusiveness and respect for persons of various ethnic
backgrounds, faiths, genders, sexual orientations, and viewpoints. We can enhance
conditions for a dignified existence for everybody if we work together.

Partnerships

Goal 17 Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global

partnership for sustainable development

Join or start a group in your neighborhood that aims to mobilize action for the SDGs'
implementation. Encourage your governments to collaborate with businesses to
achieve the SDGs.
