The SDGs are a globally agreed upon call to ensure lasting peace and prosperity for the whole planet. The 17 goals represent different areas that need our attention today to ensure better outcomes in the future. Click on each of the goals to learn a little more about what each one targets and how we know the work we are doing is making a difference.
These goals are broad, but important and we invite you to think about a few things as you are learning more:
- How do these issues affect Canada? BC? My Community?
- It is important that we frame how the goals impact us locally
- Are there connections between different goals that may need equal attention to see positive changes?
- What is one thing I can do today that will be a positive step in achieving these goals?
