3. The word ‘development’ is widely used to refer to a specific state of advancement or growth.
Development as action: This refers to deliberate action to change things for the better.
On September 2015, the UN adopted the 2030 Development Agenda “Transforming our
World”, which contained 17 goals and 169 targets.

4. Energy is in the centre of almost every
global opportunity and challenge the
world faces today.
It touches on every aspect of life, from
health to transport, communication,
security and food production.
The implementation of almost every
other goal on the 2030 agenda
depends on how fast and well the SDG
7 is worked on.

5. Humankind must now look for ways of
doing better and more with less.
A key proposal in this SDG is to
reduce the inequality associated with
the utilisation of essential natural
resources.
Developed nations are asked to lead
the way in adopting sustainable
consumption and production
practices.
A major requirement for a
successful implementation of this
SDG is education.

6. The Sustainable Development Goal 15
on ‘life on earth’ is all about
protecting, restoring and promoting
the sustainable use of all terrestrial
ecosystems so that we can have a
better future.
It is no longer enough for businesses
just to think of the environmental
effects emerging from their
operations.
