What are SDGS?
SDGs stands for Sustainable Development Goals.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 global goals created by the United Nations in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. They are designed to address the world's most pressing challenges, such as ending poverty and hunger, ensuring quality education and healthcare, promoting gender equality, providing clean water and sanitation, combating climate change, and protecting the environment. The SDGs aim to create a better, more sustainable future by balancing social, economic, and environmental development, encouraging global cooperation to achieve these targets by 2030.
The SDG chosen by us was SDG 13: Climate Action
What is Climate Action?
Climate action refers to efforts taken to combat climate change and its impacts. The consequences of climate change now include, among others, intense droughts, water scarcity, severe fires, rising sea levels, flooding, melting polar ice, catastrophic storms and declining biodiversity. \
But why did we choose climate action?
Our Focus
We are focusing on climate action and its specific issue of deforestation. Deforestation is a major threat to the environment, contributing to climate change, loss of biodiversity, and soil degradation. We want help with the goal and objective to eliminate deforestation from our global supply chain by 2030.
Climate change affects the environment in many different ways, including rising temperatures, sea level rise, drought, flooding, and more. These events affect things that we depend upon and value, like water, energy, transportation, wildlife, agriculture, ecosystems, and human health.
