The Global Goals
Through Agenda 2030, the United Nations' 193 member states have committed themselves to 17 Global Goals for sustainable development.
Together, we strive to achieve four fantastic things by the year 2030:
- To eradicate extreme poverty.
- To reduce inequalities.
- Solving the climate crisis.
- To promote peace and justice.
In our exhibition, you will learn more about the 17 Global Goals for sustainable development, the various sub-goals, and about positive examples of what we can do to help - both locally, regionally and in worldwide collaborations.
The global sustainable development goals - station
At the Global Goals station, visitors are able to match up lids with the right ‘good examples’, by reading the notes on the different solutions – political decisions, innovations and initiatives that people can implement in their own daily lives.
In some of the containers, there are numbers that open the code lock on the last container, which contains the solutions for the exercise.
We want visitors to gain an increased understanding of the UN global sustainable development goals and to be inspired to take their own initiatives to work on them.
The Global Goals and the 2030 Agenda is the most ambitious agreement on sustainable development that the world’s countries have ever adopted.
Agenda 2030 was adopted in 2015 by the UN member states and it includes 17 Global Goals for an economically, socially and environmentally sustainable development. Sustainable development is defined by the UN as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. They aim is to achieve four fantastic objectives by 2030:
- To eradicate extreme poverty.
- To reduce inequality and injustices in the world.
- To promote peace and justice.
- To solve the climate crisis.
Through the sustainable development goals, this could become reality. In all countries. For all people!
