We’re sure many of you have heard of something called the Sustainable Development Goals. But what exactly are they? The UN Sustainable Development Goals, or SGDs, are a collection of 17 goals that were set and adopted by all UN Member States in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which set out a 15-year plan to achieve the goals. The SDGs are the blueprint for a sustainable future, addressing global challenges such as climate change, inequality, poverty, and peace.
SDG #3: Good Health and Wellbeing. SDG #3 aims to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. Health is one of the most basic and fundamental human rights, that every single human being on the planet is entitled to. And it doesn’t just mean physical health – it means mental health and wellbeing too. Health and wellbeing are absolutely essential and pivotal to sustainable development and building prosperous societies. Healthy people are undoubtedly the foundation for healthy economies.
