                     INTRODUCTION TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

                     In 2015, the General Assembly of UN (United Nations) adopted
                     the 2030 agenda for Sustainable Development that includes 17

                     Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These are based on the
                     principle of “Leaving none behind”, where it emphasises a holistic
                     approach to achieve SDGs.

                     The 17 SDGs were laid to transform the world into a better place
                     to live for everyone. These goals recognise that ending poverty

                     and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that
                     improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth, all while tackling
                     climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.

                                                                                Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)   73
