Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.

economic development of their community which is another important factor to fulfill many other related sustainable
development goals.

Pollution from the industries, open defecation practices are polluting the water resources thus causing a lot of diseases
in the people living in that area.
Affordable and Clean Energy
This focuses on investing in clean energy sources such as solar, wind and thermal at affordable prices. This is an initiative
of preserving renewable energy sources, reducing greenhouse effect, reducing harmful smog, toxic buildups in our air
and water. All these will help in reducing our impact on climate change and creating a sustainable energy future.

country. Unemployment can lead to unrest and anti-social activities will increase in the society.

Inequalities based on income, sex, age, disability, race, religion and opportunity will slow down the process of social
and economic development of the society. Greater efforts at all levels are needed to educate people which in turn will
reduce inequalities, poverty and hunger.
