UN-goals of sustainable development (SDGs)

As a non-profit organisation, CONCORDIA Social Projects contributes to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

What are SDGs?

In September 2015, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was adopted by all member states of the United Nations. It contains the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which encompass social, environmental and economic aspects and aim at nothing less than the "transformation of our world". 

The SDGs include a new interconnected understanding of poverty, environmental degradation, inequality, modes of production and consumption, corruption, to name but a few examples. It was recognised that different problems need to be addressed everywhere and at the same time and should not be regionally or thematically limited. This means that all goals apply to all countries.

What does CONCORDIA contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals?

With our work in the field of child and youth welfare, as well as poverty reduction, we contribute with our programmes and projects to the achievement of the following Sustainable Development Goals:

Goal 1: End poverty in every form and everywhere

 

Goal 2: ​​​​​​​End hunger, achieve food security and better nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture

 

Goal 3: Health and well-being

 

Goal 4: Ensure inclusive, equitable and quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all

 

Goal 5: Gender equality

 

Goal 8: Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all

 

Goal 10: Reduce inequalities within and between countries

 

Goal 16: Peace, justice and strong institutions

 

Goal 17: Strengthen means of implementation and breathe new life into the global partnership for sustainable development
