The UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals, commonly known as SDGs, plan to provide a satisfactory life for everyone on the planet by 2030. In the current situation, most of them are unlikely to be achieved. One of the reasons behind this is that the UN is unable to cope with population growth. Practical, empowering population solutions are crucial to attaining the Sustainable Development Goals. This article will discuss the 17 different sustainable goals that are intended to be the ultimate solution for a sustainable future.<h1>Why the Sustainable Development Goals are Critical for a Brighter Future?</h1>&nbsp;<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:89.13%;"><img src="https://strapi.thekarmapoints.com/uploads/pexels_photo_4320481_e3f73785ed.jpeg" alt="pexels-photo-4320481.jpeg" srcset="https://strapi.thekarmapoints.com/uploads/thumbnail_pexels_photo_4320481_e3f73785ed.jpeg 245w,https://strapi.thekarmapoints.com/uploads/small_pexels_photo_4320481_e3f73785ed.jpeg 500w,https://strapi.thekarmapoints.com/uploads/medium_pexels_photo_4320481_e3f73785ed.jpeg 750w,https://strapi.thekarmapoints.com/uploads/large_pexels_photo_4320481_e3f73785ed.jpeg 1000w," sizes="100vw"></figure>The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) are a set of 17 interrelated global goals to change our world. These were created as a blueprint for a better and more sustainable future for everyone and for sustainable development by 2030.The SDGs aim for a world of harmony and opulence, eliminating major problems such as poverty and hunger while conserving the planet. All 17 goals aim to reduce global poverty and climate change, as well as improve education, health, and economic growth.The environment is at the heart of every SDG, as they aim to upgrade everyone's current living conditions without being heavily dependent on the use of natural resources. SDGs aim to conserve the planet's strength for future generations.Now let’s meet the 17 SDGs.<h2>Explaining the 17 Sustainable Development Goals: An Overview</h2>&nbsp;<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:79.41%;"><img src="https://strapi.thekarmapoints.com/uploads/pexels_photo_1108572_0ebef790de.jpeg" alt="pexels-photo-1108572.jpeg" srcset="https://strapi.thekarmapoints.com/uploads/thumbnail_pexels_photo_1108572_0ebef790de.jpeg 234w,https://strapi.thekarmapoints.com/uploads/small_pexels_photo_1108572_0ebef790de.jpeg 500w,https://strapi.thekarmapoints.com/uploads/medium_pexels_photo_1108572_0ebef790de.jpeg 750w,https://strapi.thekarmapoints.com/uploads/large_pexels_photo_1108572_0ebef790de.jpeg 1000w," sizes="100vw"></figure>The 17 SDGs designed by the UN to achieve sustainable development are listed below:<ol><li>No poverty</li><li>Zero hunger</li><li>Health and well-being</li><li>Quality Education</li><li>Gender equality and women’s empowerment</li><li>Clean water and sanitation</li><li>Affordable and clean energy</li><li>Decent work and economic growth</li><li>Infrastructure, innovation, and industrialization</li><li>Reduced Inequality</li><li>Sustainable cities and communities</li><li>Responsible consumption and production</li><li>Climate actions</li><li>Life below water</li><li>Life on land</li><li>Peace, justice, and strong institutions</li><li>Partnerships for the goals</li></ol>No povertyHigh birth rates can plunge countries into poverty. The World Bank has cautioned that acute poverty may not decline until 2021 as population growth outpaces economic growth in underdeveloped countries. Hence, making sure that everyone is made aware of the importance of having a small family is key to ending poverty.Zero hungerThe world population has surpassed 8 billion. As population growth outpaces development, previous increases are quickly s development, previous increases are quickly reversed, which has led to the rise of hungry people again in the last three years. Experts have warned that sensitive regions and underdeveloped countries are at major risk of hunger if steps are not taken to reduce birth rates.Health and well-beingIncreasing population density promotes the spread of disease and harms public health. Areas with already overburdened health-care systems are more vulnerable to this.The solution could be to invest in universal health care, which includes easy access to family planning, resulting in slower population growth and better lives.Quality EducationDue to the prevalence of gender inequality, girls are immensely affected by the lack of educational opportunities. Improving quality education through great investments is key to reducing poverty and halting population growth.Gender equality and women’s empowermentIt is shocking that no country has yet attained full equality, and on top of that, gender-based injustices and crimes remain common and rampant. Enabling women and girls to take control of their opportunities and lives will turn out to be a key factor in solving the greatest social and environmental crises.Clean water and sanitationEvery human has the right to access clean water, sanitation, and hygiene. Billions still face daily challenges to access even the most basic services. Investing in infrastructure and sanitary facilities; conservation and restoration of water-related ecosystems; and hygiene training are required measures to ensure safe and inexpensive drinking water for all by 2030.Affordable and clean energyMaking sure there is affordable electricity by 2030 involves investing in clean energy sources such as solar, wind, and thermal energy. Developing infrastructure and improving technology for clean energy production in all developing countries is a key goal that can boost economic growth and benefit the environment.Decent work and economic growthTo improve employment opportunities for young people, reduce informal employment and labor market inequalities related to the gender pay gap, promote safe working conditions, and increase access to financial services, additional steps must be taken to amend these goals. We need to progress toward inclusive economic growth with more working opportunities.Industry, innovation, and infrastructureInvesting in infrastructure such as transport, irrigation, energy, and information and communication technology is essential for attaining sustainable development and strengthening communities in many countries.Reduced inequalitiesBy universalizing policies to reduce inequalities and paying particular attention to the needs of disadvantaged and marginalized people immensely affected by the economic impact of COVID-19, they can be given equality in living standards.Sustainable cities and communitiesMaking cities safe and sustainable entails providing safe and affordable housing, improving slums, investing in public transportation, creating green spaces, and engaging in participatory and inclusive processes. It means improving urban planning and governance in a meaningful way.Responsible consumption and productionWe need to reduce the world's ecological footprint by upgrading the way we produce and consume goods and resources. By 2030, shared natural resources must be efficiently managed and toxic waste and pollutants carefully disposed of to enable more sustainable consumption patterns.Climate actionsClimate change is a worldwide defiance that necessitates systematic international cooperation.If left unchecked, climate change will undermine much of the development progress of recent years. It will also cause large-scale migration, leading to instability and war.Life below waterToday, over 30% of the world's fish stocks are overutilized, and marine pollution has reached alarming levels, with an average of 13,000 pieces of plastic debris found in every square kilometer of ocean. This needs cautious management and proper attention, as it is a key feature of a sustainable future.Life on landStopping deforestation and reinstating the utilization of terrestrial ecosystems is important to decrease the loss of natural habitats and biodiversity that are part of our natural heritage.Peace, justice, and strong institutionsGovernments, civil society, and communities should work together to find sustainable solutions to disputes and uncertainty. Key to this process is strengthening the rule of law and the propaganda of human rights, as well as reducing illegal arms, fighting corruption, and ensuring broad participation at all times.Partnerships for the goalsThe 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is universal and requires all countries—both developed and developing—to act to ensure that no one is abandoned. This requires a partnership between governments, the private sector, and civil society. The SDGs can only be achieved with a strong commitment to global partnership and cooperation.So the question here stands: are these SDGs a solution to beat climate change and its impacts on our lives? Well, the UN has declared that if every country adopts and follows these 17 SDGs, it is possible to attain sustainable development by 2050. That means a safe and secure future for the coming generations without compromising the needs of the present generation. To see if these SDGs are significant or a failure, we have to wait for the future to decide.<h1 style="margin-left:0.2670021057128906pt;">Conclusion</h1>&nbsp;We cannot ignore the fact that we are slowly moving towards facing the harsh impacts of climatic&nbsp; changes. If the situation persists, then we might have to face them sooner. There’s no escape&nbsp; from what we are causing. It is our karma that we have to take care of. If immediate action is not&nbsp; taken to nullify the current harm caused to the environment, then we all need to brace ourselves&nbsp; to face the consequences of climatic changes.With the coming up of these SDGs, the UN has aimed to achieve sustainable development in most of the countries by 2050. But can we really imagine a sustainable future?&nbsp; Everything that we are doing for our own benefit is putting nature in jeopardy in some way or another. Be it deforestation or using an air conditioner, all these factors lead to global warming. But what is the root cause of all these factors? Well, it's us and our increasing needs and demands. All our actions have equal and opposite reactions. If we harm nature, we only have to bear its consequences. Not only us, but we are also putting our future generation at great risk, and there is no escape from it. If we don't do something now, our future may not be as pleasant as we imagine.&nbsp;Continue to read more on karma, climatic changes, poverty, and other topics listed below.Check out our website to learn more about charity and donations.&nbsp;
