Are you familiar with Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals? These goals are reaching for a peaceful and prosperous future for both people and the planet. They call for urgent action and cooperation globally, between developed and developing countries to end poverty and hunger, ensure economic growth and tackle climate change. The Agenda 2030 was set in the UN Sustainable Development Summit 2015 and adopted by all the United Nations member countries.
Now, we have less than ten years to reach these targets. Time is running short. Is it possible to reach these goals? How does the situation seem right now? What needs to be done?
