Sustainable Development Goals
SDGs are a universal call to action to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. The 17 Goals were adopted by all UN Members States in 2015 as a 15-year plan to address and solve serious global challenges of present humanity by 2030.
TGD considers the SDGs as an inspiring framework for our work and as a good conversation starter for the urgent reflection and need to change the world.
