 SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
GOALS
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT :
The term 'Sustainable Development' can mean different things to
different people in different situations. This makes the precise definition of
the term difficult. One of the most frequently used definition of sustainable
development is, "Sustainable development is the development that
meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs."

INTRODUCTION TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

GOALS :
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by the
United Nations in September 2015 as a global agenda to address
pressing social, economic, and environmental challenges by 2030.
Encompassing 17 goals, these objectives aim to eradicate poverty, ensure
inclusive and equitable education, promote gender equality, and foster
sustainable economic growth. Building upon the Millennium Development
