"Everyone may contribute to the goals, and every contribution will have an effect on our planet," says the author.
We have observed how the goals have positively changed the business environment in our sector.
A total of US$ 23 trillion in business prospects for climate-smart investments have been made available to emerging markets thanks to the Paris Agreement alone.
Working largely in developing and transitional nations, we are able to observe the impact of the goals and how they are assisting in the creation of better possibilities for the local populations, as well as the negative impact of the changing environment and the rise in inequality.
In order to make the world a better place for all of us, we must capitalise on this momentum and keep working toward our objectives.
