This year, we want to focus on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
These are political goals that were adopted by the United Nations in 2016 with a term of 15 years. They are anchored in the 2030 Agenda and are aimed at everyone: states, civil society, business, science and each and every individual. Put simply, the aim is to create a world that is "fit for grandchildren" through a sustainable and low-emission way of life and economy.
The five core messages of the 2030 Agenda are the so-called 5 Ps: People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace, Partnership; they precede the 17 goals as guiding principles for action.
People: "We are determined to end poverty and hunger in all its forms and dimensions and to ensure that all people can realize their full potential in dignity and equality and in a healthy environment."
Planet / Planet: "We are determined to protect the planet from harm, including through sustainable consumption and production, the sustainable management of its natural resources and immediate action on climate change, so that the Earth can meet the needs of present and future generations."
Prosperity: "We are determined to protect the planet from harm, including through sustainable consumption and production, the sustainable management of its natural resources and urgent action on climate change, so that the earth can meet the needs of present and future generations."
Peace: "We are determined to promote peaceful, just and inclusive societies free from fear and violence. Without peace there can be no sustainable development and without sustainable development there can be no peace."
Partnership: "We are determined to mobilize the resources needed to implement this agenda through a revitalized Global Partnership for Sustainable Development, based on a spirit of enhanced global solidarity, focused in particular on the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable, and involving all countries, all stakeholders and all people.
Over the course of the year, we will take a closer look at a few of the goals each month, provide exciting examples of their implementation and show how we at Artemed Stiftung are doing our part.
