United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals
 

Sustainable Development is a term you might have encountered frequently, but do you really know what it means? If not, let me explain briefly. Sustainable development refers to economic growth that doesn't depletes natural resources or jeopardize future generations. Essentially, it ensures that today's decisions don't negatively impact tomorrow's people. This concept encompasses four main areas: human, social, economic, and environmental.

This framework was adopted by 193 UN member states in 2015. The 17 goals aim to bolster local economies, protect the environment, and ensure the well-being of our planet for future generations.  Examples include promoting renewable energy, making housing more affordable and accessible, recycling, and supporting local businesses.
