Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a universal call to action to end

poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. SDGs
concepts firsty appear in sustainable development converence that held by PBB in Rio de
Jainero, 2012. The aim is to achive a common goals that universally can maintain stability of
three major sustainable development that are environtment, social, and economics. SDGs
created after the successes of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), that consist
of 17 goals with 169 targets which cover sustainable development problems. These include
eradicating poverty and hunger, improving health, and education, building more sustainable
cities, overcoming climate change, and protecting forests and the sea.

In PBB converence 196 country agree to 17 goals in SDGs, that are :

1. No poverty
Economic growth must be inclusive to provide sustainable jobs and promote
equality. Social protection systems need to be implemented to help alleviate the
suffering of disaster-prone countries and provide support in the face of great economic
risks. These systems will help strengthen responses by afflicted populations to
unexpected economic losses during disasters and will eventually help to end extreme
poverty in the most impoverished areas.
2. Zero Hunger
It is time to rethink how we grow, share and consume our food. If done right,
agriculture, forestry and fisheries can provide nutritious food for all and generate
decent incomes, while supporting people-centered rural development and protecting
the environment.
3. Good Health and Well-being
Ensuring healthy lives and promoting the well-being at all ages is essential to
sustainable development. Many more efforts are needed to fully eradicate a wide range
of diseases and address many different persistent and emerging health issues. By
focusing on providing more efficient funding of health systems, improved sanitation
and hygiene, increased access to physicians and more tips on ways to reduce ambient
pollution, significant progress can be made in helping to save the lives of millions.
4. Qulity Education
Obtaining a quality education is the foundation to creating sustainable
development. In addition to improving quality of life, access to inclusive education can
help equip locals with the tools required to develop innovative solutions to the world’s
greatest problems.
5. Gender Equality
Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary
foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world.
6. Clean water and Sanitation
Clean, accessible water for all is an essential part of the world we want to live
in and there is sufficient fresh water on the planet to achieve this. However, due to
bad economics or poor infrastructure, millions of people including children die every
year from diseases associated with inadequate water supply, sanitation and hygiene
7. Affordable and Clean Energy
Energy is central to nearly every major challenge and opportunity the world
faces today. Be it for jobs, security, climate change, food production or increasing
incomes, access to energy for all is essential. Working towards this goal is especially
important as it interlinks with other Sustainable Development Goals.
8. Decent Work and Economic growth
Sustainable economic growth will require societies to create the conditions that
allow people to have quality jobs that stimulate the economy while not harming the
environment. Job opportunities and decent working conditions are also required for the
whole working age population. There needs to be increased access to financial services
to manage incomes, accumulate assets and make productive investments
9. Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
Investments in infrastructure – transport, irrigation, energy and information and
communication technology – are crucial to achieving sustainable development and
empowering communities in many countries. It has long been recognized that growth
in productivity and incomes, and improvements in health and education outcomes
require investment in infrastructure.
10. Reduced Inequalities
To reduce inequality, policies should be universal in principle, paying attention
to the needs of disadvantaged and marginalized population.marginalized populations.
11. Sustinable Cities and Communities
 Cities are hubs for ideas, commerce, culture, science, productivity, social
development and much more. At their best, cities have enabled people to advance
socially and economically.
12. Responsible Consumtion and Production
Sustainable consumption and production is about promoting resource and
energy efficiency, sustainable infrastructure, and providing access to basic services,
green and decent jobs and a better quality of life for all.
13. Climate Action
Climate change is now affecting every country on every continent. It is
disrupting national economies and affecting lives, costing people, communities and
countries dearly today and even more tomorrow. Weather patterns are changing, sea
levels are rising, weather events are becoming more extreme and greenhouse gas
emissions are now at their highest levels in history. Without action, the world’s average
surface temperature is likely to surpass 3 degrees centigrade this century. The poorest
and most vulnerable people are being affected the most.
14. Life Below Water
The world’s oceans – their temperature, chemistry, currents and life – drive
global systems that make the Earth habitable for humankind. Our rainwater, drinking
water, weather, climate, coastlines, much of our food, and even the oxygen in the air
we breathe, are all ultimately provided and regulated by the sea. Throughout history,
oceans and seas have been vital conduits for trade and transportation.
15. Life on Land
Forests cover 30.7 per cent of the Earth’s surface and, in addition to providing
food security and shelter, they are key to combating climate change, protecting
biodiversity and the homes of the indigenous population. By protecting forests, we will
also be able to strengthen natural resource management and increase land productivity
16. Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions
The threats of international homicide, violence against children, human
trafficking and sexual violence are important to address to promote peaceful and
inclusive societies for sustainable development. They pave the way for the provision
of access to justice for all and for building effective, accountable institutions at all
levels.
17. Partnerships for The Goals
 A successful sustainable development agenda requires partnerships between
governments, the private sector and civil society. These inclusive partnerships built
upon principles and values, a shared vision, and shared goals that place people and the
planet at the centre, are needed at the global, regional, national and local level.
