United Nations Sustainable Development Summit (2015) has set global development goals. These goals
are termed as Agenda 2030.
GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT GOALS
The 17 global development goals are:
Goal 1: End poverty in all its forms everywhere
Our dedication to end poverty would bring dramatic improvements in quality of life, environment and governance
for everyone.
Goal 2: End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable
agriculture
Hunger can be eliminated easily if we create better opportunities for farmers and focus on the needs of
undernourished groups. Sustainability means using fewer natural resources to produce food and reducing food
waste and loss. Improved nutrition means reducing both hunger and obesity through improved quality of foods.
Goal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
By promoting healthy life, we reduce the pressure on our natural resources. Telemedicine, precision medicine
and other advances bring dramatic improvements in terms of effectiveness and cost.
Goal 4: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities
for all
Technology can help us transform education, we must move beyond the ‘first study, then work’ theory to a
model based on lifelong learning. Content and quality should have emphasis on critical thinking, collaboration
and flexibility.
