Sustainable Development
Goals.
The goals of the Agenda 2063 are economic
development, political integration,
improvements in democracy and justice, the
establishment of security and peace on the
entire African continent. It aspires to the
strengthening of cultural identity through an
“African renaissance” and pan-African
ideals.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)
or Global Goals are a collection of 17
interlinked global goals designed to be a
“blueprint to achieve a better and more
sustainable future for all”.
1. No Poverty:- Eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions by 2030.
Large number of people are in the world are deprived of the most basic
human needs. They live in absolute poverty or earn less than US$1.90 a day.
They lack food, clean drinking water and sanitation. Thus, this goal targets
the most vulnerable in the society by increasing basic resources and
services and supporting communities affected by conflict and climate-
related disasters.
2. Zero hunger :- The SDGs aim to end all forms of hunger and malnutrition
by 2030 by making sure that all people – especially children, have sufficient
and nutritious food all year round. This involves promoting sustainable
agriculture, supporting small-scale farmers and equal access to land,
technology, and markets. It also requires international cooperation to ensure
investment in infrastructure and technology to improve agricultural
productivity.
3. Good health & well- being:- Good health is essential to sustainable

development. The Agenda 2030 reflects the complexity and
interconnectedness of the two. It takes into account widening economic and
social inequalities, rapid urbanization, threats to the climate and the
environment, the continuing burden of HIV and other infectious diseases,
and emerging challenges such as non-communicable diseases. Multisectoral,
rights-based and gender-sensitive approaches are essential to address
inequalities and to build good health for all.
4. Quality education: Achieving inclusive and quality education for all

reaffirms the belief that education is one of the most powerful and proven
vehicles for sustainable development. This goal ensures that all girls and
boys complete free primary and secondary schooling by 2030. It also aims to
provide equal access to affordable vocational training, eliminate gender and
wealth disparities, and achieve universal access to quality higher education.
5. Gender Equality: Ending all discrimination against women and girls is not
only a basic human right, it is crucial for a sustainable future. It is proven
that empowering women and girls helps economic growth and development.
Therefore, it is vital to give women equal rights of land and property. In
addition, encouraging more women to become leaders will help achieve
greater gender equality.
6. Clean water & Sanitantion: Safe and affordable drinking water for all by
2030 requires countries to invest in adequate infrastructure, provide
sanitation facilities, and encourage hygiene. Protecting and restoring water
related ecosystems is essential.
7. Affordable and clean energy: The world population is continuing to grow at

a rapid rate. Hence, there is high demand for cheap energy. Many economies
which depend on fossil fuels are creating drastic changes to climate.
Therefore, investing in solar, wind and thermal power, improving energy
productivity, and ensuring energy for all is vital to achieve SDG 7 by 2030.
8. Decent work & economic growth: The SDGs promote sustained economic
growth, higher levels of productivity and technological innovation.
Encouraging entrepreneurship and job creation are key to this, as are
effective measures to eradicate forced labor, slavery, and human trafficking.
With these targets in mind, the goal is to achieve full and productive
employment, and decent work, for all women and men by 2030.
9. Industry, innovation, and infrastructure: Technological progress is the key to

finding lasting solutions to both economic and environmental challenges.
However, it requires providing new jobs and promoting energy efficiency.
Therefore, promoting sustainable industries, and investing in scientific research
and innovation, are all important ways to facilitate sustainable development.
10. Reduced inequalities: Income inequality has increased nearly everywhere in

recent decades, but at different speeds. It is lowest in Europe and highest in the
Middle East. Income inequality requires global solutions. This involves improving
the regulation and monitoring of financial markets and institutions, encouraging
development assistance, and foreign direct investment to regions where the need is
greatest. Facilitating the safe migration and mobility of people is also a key to
bridging the widening divide.
11. Sustainable cities and communities: Sustainable development cannot be
achieved without significantly transforming the way cities are built and managed.
The rapid growth of cities – a result of rising populations and increasing migration,
has led to a boom in mega-cities, especially in the developing world, and slums are
becoming a more significant feature of urban life. Therefore, it requires
governments to make sustainable cities by creating career and business
opportunities, safe and affordable housing, and building resilient societies and
economies. It also involves investment in public transport, creating green public
spaces and improving urban planning and management in participatory and
inclusive ways.
12. Responsible consumption & production: Achieving economic growth and

sustainable development requires that we urgently reduce our ecological footprint
by changing the way we produce and consume goods and resources. The efficient
management of our shared natural resources, and the way we dispose of toxic
waste and pollutants, are important targets to achieve this goal. Encouraging
industries, businesses, and consumers to recycle and reduce waste is equally
important, as is supporting developing countries to move towards more sustainable
patterns of consumption by 2030.
13. Climate action: Every country is experiencing the drastic effects of climate
change. Supporting vulnerable regions will directly contribute not only to Goal 13
but also to the other SDGs. These actions must also go hand in hand with efforts to
integrate disaster risk measures, sustainable natural resource management, and
human security into national development strategies.
14. Life Below Water: The SDGs aim to sustainably manage and protect marine
and coastal ecosystems from pollution, as well as address the impacts of ocean
acidification. Enhancing conservation and the sustainable use of ocean-based
resources through international law will also help mitigate some of the challenges
facing our oceans.
15. Life On Land: Human life depends on the earth for sustenance and livelihoods.
There is rapid a rate of deforestation, land degradation and desertification in many
parts of the world. Therefore, urgent action must be taken to reduce the loss of
natural habitats and biodiversity, which are part of our common heritage and
support global food and water security, climate change mitigation and adaptation,
and peace and security.
16. Peace, Justice, & Strong Institutions: We cannot hope for sustainable
development without peace, stability, human rights, and effective governance,
based on the rule of law. Some regions enjoy peace, security, and prosperity, while
others fall into seemingly endless cycles of conflict and violence. This is not
inevitable and must be addressed. The SDGs aim to significantly reduce all forms
of violence, and work with governments and communities to end conflict and
insecurity.
17. Partnerships for the goals: The SDGs can only be realized with strong global
partnerships and cooperation. The world is more interconnected than ever.
Improving access to technology and knowledge is an important way to share ideas
and foster innovation. Coordinating policies to help developing countries manage
their debt, as well as promoting investment for the least developed, is vital for
sustainable growth and development.
Challenges of Sustainable Development
 War and Instability. When there is turmoil, instability and

war between nations it stands to reasons that sustainable
development cannot occur.
 Suitability and Availability.
 Governmental Issues.
 Poverty & Unemployment.
 The Global Economy.
 Population Growth.
There are also several challenges associated
with sustainable development including:
1.balancing economic growth with
environmental protection:it can be difficult to
ensure that economic development dose not
come at the expense of the environment, as
industries often prioritize profit over
sustainability.
2. limited resources : as the global population
continues to grow, there is increasing pressure
on finite resources (such as water, land ,
energy...). sustainable development requires
efficient resource management to ensure they
are available for future generation.
3.climate change: the impacts of climate
change ,such as rising temperatures, extreme
weather events, and sea levels rise,post
significant challenges ble development effort.
4.socail inequality :sustainable development
aims to improve the quality of life for all
peoples, but social inequalities can hinder
progress.
5. political and institutional barriers: lack of
political will ,corruption and inadequate
governance structures can impede sustainable
development inactivates.
6. lack of awareness and education: education
and awareness rising efforts are crucial for
fostering a culture of sustainability.
7. technological limitations :investment in
research and innovation is needed to overcome
technological barriers
 There are several prospects for
development that offer hope for a more
sustainable future:
1. innovation and technology :
