What are the World Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), you ask? They’re a set of 17 global goals that were adopted by all UN Member States in 2015, with the aim of achieving a more sustainable, equitable, and prosperous future for all people and the planet by 2030. They cover everything from poverty and hunger to climate action and peace and justice, and they’re a call to action for governments, businesses, civil society, and individuals alike and you can find out more about them here.

But why should you care about the SDGs, you ask? Let us count the ways:

1. They’re good for the world.

Okay, this one is a bit obvious, but it bears repeating. The SDGs are a blueprint for creating a better world, one where people are healthy and well-educated, where the environment is protected, where poverty and inequality are reduced, and where everyone has access to the resources and opportunities they need to thrive. Who wouldn’t want that?

2. They’re good for business.

Believe it or not, supporting the SDGs can also be good for your bottom line. Businesses that align their strategies and operations with the SDGs can tap into new markets, reduce risks, increase efficiency, and build brand reputation and customer loyalty. Plus, by contributing to the achievement of the SDGs, businesses can help create a more stable and prosperous world for their employees, customers, and communities.

3. They’re good for you.

Yes, you. By supporting the SDGs, you can be a part of something bigger than yourself, something that has the potential to change the world. You can connect with like-minded individuals and organizations, learn new skills and perspectives, and make a meaningful impact on the issues that matter most to you. Plus, you might just have some fun along the way.
