The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 interconnected global goals established by the United Nations (UN) in 2015. They were created to provide a framework for sustainable development efforts worldwide and to address the most pressing social, economic, and environmental issues facing the planet. The 17 goals are the wide range of issues such as poverty, hunger, health, education, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, renewable energy, economic growth, decent work, and reducing inequalities.

What we, young people, can do for SDGs?

    1. We can raise awareness about the SDGs in our communities and social networks through sharing information on social media, organizing events, and engaging in conversations with friends and family.

    2. We can advocate for policies and practices that support with the SDGs through contacting elected officials, participating in demonstrations, and joining campaigns and petitions.

    3. We can lead by example by adopting sustainable practices in their own lives via reducing waste, conserving energy, and supporting sustainable products and services.

   4. We can volunteer with organizations working towards the SDGs. We are able to participate in community service projects, volunteer with local NGOs, and support global initiatives.

   5. We also can innovate by developing new solutions and technologies to address challenges related to the SDGs, creating new products or services, developing new apps or software, and participating in hackathons and innovation challenges.

   6. And for sure, we can collaborate with others to achieve the SDGs, such as youth organizations, local businesses and NGOs, and joining global networks. 

  By taking action in our own lives and communities, advocating for change, and collaborating with others, we can help create a more sustainable and equitable future for all.
