PEACE, JUSTICE  Goal 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
                 16 AND STRONG
                     INSTITUTIONS  We cannot hope for sustainable development without peace, stability, human rights, and effective
                                  governance based on the rule of law. Yet, our world is increasingly divided. We want peace and
                                  justice for humanity and are looking for strong institutions to achieve this. Some regions fall into
                                  an endless cycle of conflict and violence, while others are peaceful and prosperous. Therefore, all
                                  countries must take appropriate actions to combat these situations and foster the much-needed
                 growth of a sustainable society that encourages positive change for future generations.
                 SDG 16 aims to reduce all forms of injustice and violence and promote a world governed by laws and order, resulting in
                 institutions that govern people uniformly and in the most productive manner.

                 Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals                                                           PARTNERSHIPS
                                                                                                           17 FOR THE GOALS
                 Realisation of all SDGs is only possible when all countries collaborate and put their efforts to the nth
                 degree, to bring about the changes we desire for a sustainable, peaceful, progressive, and liveable
                 world. Since, the world is more interconnected than ever, it is now mandatory to join hands with
                 other countries and work towards our common goals.
                 Improving access to technology and knowledge with ever-improving scientific means will take our initiatives and ideas
                 further. Coordinating such activities with developing nations will bring about the changes needed by the world. We need
                 improvements in debt situations, pollution levels, equality, and partnerships to make this planet sustainable for future
                 generations. So, let's join hands from east to west and north to south to make the world a fair and peaceful place to live.

                                Reboot


                      1.   Which SDG is working on to reduce violence, injustice and promote a world that works under laws and
                          orders?



                      2.   Which SDG is aimed at combating the processes that lead to the wastage of resources and the depletion
                          of existing supplies of raw materials on Earth?









                             Brainy Fact


                       The concept of SDGs originated at the Rio+20 Summit in 2012, the largest summit in UN history.
                       Colombia and Guatemala suggested establishing new goals to succeed the Millennium Development
                       Goals, which were initiated in 2000 with the aim of halving poverty by 2015. This objective has been
                       achieved, with poverty, defined as living on less than $1.25 a day, reduced by half. Setting such goals
                       proves effective, as they help organisations and countries align their agendas and prioritise funding in
                       a complex world.
                       The new goals resulted from a three-year process that included 83 national surveys and engaged
                       over 7 million people, marking the most extensive consultation in UN history. A report indicates that
                       Sweden is most likely to achieve these goals first, with Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Switzerland
                       following closely behind.
