Sensors are a type of input device, often called a detector.

Sensors detect or measures a physical property and respond using electrical signals.

What are the Global Goals?

The Global Goals are a call for action by all countries to promote prosperity for everyone while protecting the planet. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or Global Goals are a collection of 17 interlinked goals with actions agreed by all 193 member countries of the United Nations in 2015. It is the most ambitious international agreement ever made, to eradicate poverty and inequality, protect health and prevent climate change.

Goal 11 Cities account for between 60 and 80 per cent of energy consumption and generate as much as 70per cent of human-induced greenhouse gas emissions.

Goal 13 covers a wide range of issues, including limiting the pollution that is causing climate change and strengthening our ability to resist the effects of climate change, like storms and flooding in some areas and droughts in others.

SENSORS will help us live smarter, use less electricity and energy.

This is one way we can help these UN Global Goals.
