Understanding the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
Learn how your business can contribute to the SDGs
WHAT ARE THE 17 SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGs )?
In 2015, the UN established a set of Sustainable Development Goals to help businesses and governments build a more equitable and sustainable world. The goals were adopted by all United Nations Member States and aim to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all by 2030. Since then, we have seen progress on every goal — but we have a long way to go.
The SDGs are ambitious, but they are achievable. They provide a roadmap for countries to work together to build a better future for all. They are integrated, meaning that they recognize that action in one area will impact outcomes in others. The goals are also indivisible, meaning that no country or community can achieve them alone.
Reforestation and SDGs
As we consider the full breadth of solutions available to us, one opportunity stands out as having the potential to positively impact ALL 17 Sustainable Development Goals: land restoration.
According to a report by the International Resource Panel (IRP), a global scientific panel hosted by the United Nations Environment Program, well-planned reforestation, and related land restoration activities have powerful cross-sectional benefits that benefit the Sustainable Development Goals.
