Sustainable Development Goals- Agenda 2030
The Sustainable Development Goals also known as the Global Goals, are a universal approach for improving our world.
These 17 interconnected universal goals approved by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015 and are expected
to be achieved by the year 2030. They serve as a blueprint for creating a better and more sustainable future for all.
These goals will help all the nations across the world to design their national development plans for the next
15 years in such a way that it should end poverty and hunger, bring peace and justice and sustain our natural
resources with minimum climate changes, food, and agriculture with less damage to mother Earth.
The SDGs have been framed with the objective of addressing vital issues facing businesses, governments, and
society. These include poverty, gender equality, water use, energy, climate change, and biodiversity.
Countries are now establishing policies and regulations that will promote sustainable systems needed in all
economic sectors to provide a secure, affordable, and sustainable economy. The core skills identified as necessary
for the green worker include environmental awareness and willingness to learn about sustainable development as
well as general learning and decision-making ability.

Green Growth
The concept of green growth aims at achieving economic growth that is socially inclusive and environmentally
sustainable. The Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change, Government of India recognized green
growth in its vision, wherein 'poverty eradication' along with green growth is to be seen as the focal point for green
economy. The Finance Commission of India articulated green growth as involving "rethinking growth strategies
with regard to their impacts on environmental sustainability and the environmental resources available to poor
and vulnerable groups." The extent to which its economy will "grow green" will depend on its ability to reduce the
quantity of resources required over time to support economic growth that leads to enhancement of social equity
and job creation. Green growth could play an important role in balancing these priorities. To ensure sustainable
development, any activity that is expected to bring about economic growth must also consider its environmental
impacts so that it is more consistent with long term growth and development.
