Sustainable Development Goals

The United Nations have issued 17 ambitious goals to try and build a better, fairer, and more sustainable future for the world.

Sustainable Development Goal 17 stresses that to address the challenges that our planet faces we will need strong cooperation and partnerships between international institutions and nations.

Partnerships are the glue that holds all the UN’s sustainability goals together. Different people, organisations and countries will need to act together to meet the challenges that the world is facing.

The UN states, "The inter-connected global economy requires a global response to ensure all countries, in particular developing countries, can address the compounding and parallel health, economic and environmental crises to recover better".

Some of the key recommendations of the UN to achieve this goal include:

• Wealthy nations assisting developing nations with debt relief
• Promoting finanical investment in developing countries
• Making envoronmentally friendly technology available to developing countries
• Significantly increase the exports from developing countries to help bring more money into these nations
