UN Sustainable Development Goals Progress & Challenges 2016-2023
Table of content
Intro: Imagine the world as a gigantic pizza and each slice representing a significant problem that needs solving. In 2016, the United Nations baked up a 17-slice pizza, called the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), hoping to feed our minds with ways to improve our world. Now let's slice up this information to make it easier for you to digest!
End poverty in all its forms everywhere
Did you know that over 40% of people in sub-Saharan Africa live on less than $1.90/day? That's like trying to survive on a small cup of coffee every day! And it's not just adults, young people aged 15-24 are often among the working poor. Imagine having to work at 15 instead of worrying about schoolwork!
End hunger, achieve food security & promote sustainable agriculture
Hunger isn't a stranger to nearly 800 million people worldwide. They're like starving castaways on a deserted island while in sub-Saharan Africa, more than half of adults face food insecurity. It's like being on a constant diet, but not by choice.
Ensure healthy lives & promote well-being
Close to 6 million children sadly didn't get the chance to grow old, mostly due to preventable causes. It's like losing the entire population of Singapore every year!
Ensure inclusive & equitable quality education
In 2013, 59 million primary school-age children didn't attend school. That's about the entire population of Italy! And let's not forget the 750 million adults who were unable to read or write.
Achieve gender equality
Women worldwide often spend double the time on unpaid labor compared to men. It's like running a marathon and then being told to run another one!
Ensure water & sanitation for all
Despite over 90% of the world having access to improved water, about a third of the world's population lacks access to improved sanitation. Think of how many friends of yours would be left without toilets if this applied to your school!
Access to modern energy
Over 1 billion people are living in the dark with no access to electricity and 3 billion rely on polluting fuels for cooking. It's like using a dangerous bonfire instead of a safe stove!
