Supporting UN SDGs

What are SDGs and why do we need to support them?

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, is a collection of 17 objectives. It’s an urgent call to action for all countries by the United Nations to end poverty, protect the environment, and promote peace and prosperity by 2030.

In 2015, the goals were adopted by all UN Member States, setting out a 15-year plan to achieve the goals. However, progress to meet the goals has not reached the level required. Simply put, more needs to be done to tackle growing poverty, empower women and girls, and address the climate crisis.

At Green Moves, we believe everyone needs to do their part to support the UN SDGs and at a minimum, help contribute to keeping the planet’s temperature at a habitable level.
