Sustainable Development Goals

Introduction

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 global objectives established by the United Nations to address pressing environmental, social, and economic challenges by 2030. These goals aim to promote prosperity while protecting the planet, with a focus on areas such as poverty eradication, quality education, climate action, and peace and justice. The SDGs provide a comprehensive blueprint for achieving a better and more sustainable future for all.

Targets

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) encompass 169 targets designed to address a wide range of global challenges. These targets include eradicating poverty and hunger, ensuring access to quality education and healthcare, achieving gender equality, promoting sustainable economic growth, and combating climate change. Each target provides specific, measurable outcomes aimed at driving progress towards the overarching goals by 2030.

SDG 3

This project directly addresses SDG 3 by aiming to improve health outcomes through the timely diagnosis and treatment of metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC). By identifying and mitigating factors that delay diagnosis, we can enhance the quality of healthcare and increase survival rates for breast cancer patients.

SDG 5

As breast cancer primarily affects women, this project supports SDG 5 by addressing healthcare disparities that disproportionately impact women. Ensuring equitable access to timely and effective medical care is essential for achieving gender equality in health outcomes.

SDG 10

The project aims to uncover and address disparities in healthcare access based on demographics, socioeconomic factors, and climate data. By identifying and addressing these inequities, the project contributes to reducing inequalities within and among populations, aligning with the objectives of SDG 10.

SDG 13

By incorporating zip code level climate data, the project recognizes the potential impact of environmental factors on health outcomes. Understanding how climate conditions may influence delays in cancer diagnosis can inform strategies to mitigate these effects, thereby supporting SDG 13.
