The Sustainable Development Goals—officially known as "Transforming our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development"—are an intergovernmental set of 17 aspirational goals and 169 targets. Building post-2015 on the accomplishments of the Millennium Development Goals, but cognizant also of their shortcomings, they combine economic, environmental, and social goals that now apply to all countries. They were developed in a broad two-year consultation process during which civil society, citizens, academics, scientists, and the private sector of all countries had the opportunity to contribute.
The Sustainable Development Goals—officially known as "Transforming our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development"—are an intergovernmental set of 17 aspirational goals and 169 targets that now apply to all countries. SDG 4 (quality education) and SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth) seek to address primary concerns of youth. Elsewhere, it stands to reason that engaging, energizing, and empowering youth can make them integral part of the solutions we all need.

Let's think on a bigger scale. The United Nations Foundation solves global problems. Problems that challenge humanity and - once solved - will advance and improve life for millions. We are joined by three executives from the United Nations Foundation and their partner agency The Glover Park Group for a discussion about how to measure - and engage in - the world's most important brand conversation.
On 23rd September 2016 we reflected on the messages of Global Goals Week and how we can take action together on the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. Each of our Pupil Groups - Pupil Council, Eco Group, JRSOs, P7 Captains and Digital Leaders - are making plans for the year and classes were encouraged to share their ideas with their Class Reps so that we can work together in school to take action.
P4 and P7 pupils Alba and Samara gave extraordinary performances on piano. Samara practises for many hours every day and Laila told us how she has worked hard to achieve so many Tae Kwon Do medals.
Mylo and Christopher confidently introduced our brand new iTeach Digital Leaders programme and explained how to get involved. We celebrated lots of individual pupil achievements, including a recent win for P6 Team at Boroughmuir RFC and Pedal for Scotland medals for siblings Sam, Lizzy and Quinn.

SDGs are launched just a few days ago by United Nations.@GlobalGoalsUN
These 17 goals are the successor of MDGs Millennium Development Goals.
SDGs and MDGs can be identified as the Collective Human Rights. This time particularly the youth of the Developing and Underdeveloped Nations is more aware and committed towards achieving these goals.
Pakistanis weren't aware of MDGs when they were launched in 2000, but 15 years later these goals are discussed among every civil society activist.
This time we are prepared, by discussing SDGs with the Students of a public university we want to assure that most of the Nation becomes aware about these goals and work collectively towards achieving them.

WBCSD - Business implications of the Sustainable Development Goals fveglio
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide business with a powerful framework to translate global needs and ambitions into business solutions. They enable companies to better manage their risks and unlock opportunities. Radical transformation is required to deliver the Global Goals, allowing business to demonstrate leadership and apply its creativity to innovate for a more sustainable and inclusive future.
Business is not being asked to deliver the SDGs alone, but the goals will not be achieved without a significant contribution from the private sector. With our work programs we aim to provide meaningful avenues for our members to lead, transform and succeed on the journey to 2030.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet.

2. What are the Sustainable Development Goals?
The Sustainable Development Goals, otherwise known as
the Global Goals , build on the Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs), eight anti-poverty targets that the world
committed to achieving by 2015. The MDGs, adopted in
2000, aimed at an array of issues that included slashing
poverty, hunger, disease, gender inequality, and access
to water and sanitation. Enormous progress has been
made on the MDGs, showing the value of a unifying agenda
underpinned by goals and targets. Despite this success, the
indignity of poverty has not been ended for all.

Committee on Corporate Governance
“Integrated Reporting emphasizes the importance of integrated
thinking
within the organization.”
8. At the heart of integrated reporting are six tenets of
better reporting which, when adopted, will create a
multiplier effect in terms of the benefits to
businesses, investors and society.
These six straight forward ideas are:
1. Communication about value creation
2. Concise and clear communication
3. Articulation of strategy
9. 4. Connectivity of information
5. Future orientation
6. Understanding the external environment
10. The International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) is a global
coalition of regulators, investors, companies, standard setters, the
accounting profession and NGOs. The coalition
is promoting communication about value creation as the next step in
the evolution of corporate reporting.
Mission
The IIRC’s mission is to establish integrated reporting and thinking within
business practice as the norm in the public and private sectors.
