SDG’s: Sustainable Development Goals
•The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to
transform our world.
•They are a call to action to end poverty and inequality,
protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy
health, justice and prosperity.
• It is critical that no one is left behind.

•In the year 2015, leaders from 193 countries of the world
came together to face the future.
•Famines, Drought, Wars, Plagues, Poverty were seen to their
nearby places, that might be town or a village.
•They knew things didn’t have to be this way. They knew we
had enough food to feed the world, but that it wasn’t getting
shared.
•They knew there were medicines for HIV and other diseases,
but they cost a lot.
•They knew that earthquakes and floods were inevitable, but
that the high death tolls were not.

• Famine is severe and prolonged hunger in a substantial proportion of
the population of a region or country, resulting in widespread and
acute malnutrition and death by starvation and disease.

•It is an ambitious goal and aimed to end poverty in all its
form everywhere.
•In the year 2000 world committed to reduce the poverty line
throughout the globe, by 2015 its report was submitted to
United Nations.

the world still has the problem of poverty.

targets and about 120 events were conducted around the
globe.

Goal 2
• End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and
promote sustainable agriculture
• Concentrating on Rural Development
• Concentrating on food security, nutrition and sustainable agriculture.

Climate change and sustainable development 17

 • In the past 20 years, hunger has dropped by almost
half.
• Many countries that used to suffer from famine and
hunger can now meet the nutritional needs of their
most vulnerable people.
Imagine a world where everyone has access to sufficient
and nutritious food all year round. Together, we can make
that a reality by 2030.

 • We all know how important it is to be in good health.
• Our health affects everything from how much we
enjoy life to what work we can perform.
That’s why there’s a Goal to make sure everyone has
health coverage and access to safe and effective
medicines and vaccines.
In the 25 years before the SDGs, we made big
strides—preventable child deaths dropped by more than
half, and maternal mortality went down by almost as
much.

6 million children die every year before their fifth
birthday, or that AIDS is the leading cause of death for
adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa. We have the means
to turn that around and make good health more than
just a wish.

more likely to be out of school than those of the richest
households.
