READING-ACTIVITY NO. 5 UNITED NATIONS: “GOALS TO TRANSFORM OUR WORLD”

GOAL 8: DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH: Promote sustained,

inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and productive
employment, and decent work for all 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 reaching equal progress. Make all cities socially inclusive,
economically productive, environmentally sustainable, secure, and
strong to climate change and other risks. It is necessary to end extreme urban poverty,
expand employment and productivity, and raise living standards, especially in extremely
poor neighborhoods.

GOAL 9: INDUSTRY, INNOVATION AND INFRASESTRUCTURE.

sure that governments and international organizations adopt policies that promote equal
opportunities for all.

GOAL 11: MAKE CITIES INCLUSIVE, SAFE, RESILIENT

AND SUSTAINABLE
Ensure access for all to adequate, safe, and affordable housing and
basic services. The governments must provide access to safe,
reasonable, available, and sustainable transport systems for all and
offer safe, inclusive, and accessible, green, and public spaces, for
women and children, older people and people with disabilities.

GOAL 12 RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND
