1. Greeting & Introduction (10-15 seconds)

• Begin with a polite greeting.

• Briefly introduce yourself or acknowledge the audience.
• State the topic or theme of your speech.

Example: "Good afternoon, everyone. My name is [Your Name], and today I'd like to share a quick
thought about the power of perseverance."

2. Main Point or Story (45-60 seconds)

• Present your main point clearly.

• Use a short anecdote, example, or fact to support your point.
• Keep the content focused and easy to follow.

Example: "A few years ago, I faced a major challenge at work that seemed impossible to overcome.
Despite several failures, I kept pushing forward, learning from each setback. Over time, my
persistence paid off, and I achieved my goal."

3. Conclusion (15-20 seconds)

• Summarize your main point.

• End with a call to action, an inspirational message, or a memorable statement.

Example: "In the end, perseverance teaches us that every failure is a step closer to success. So keep
going, even when things get tough."
1. No Poverty

Did you know that nearly 10% of the world's population lives on less than $2 a day? Despite
significant progress, poverty is still a major issue affecting millions, especially in developing
regions like sub-Saharan Africa. Poverty isn't just about money—it's about access to food,
education, and healthcare. The solution lies in job creation, fair distribution of resources, and
social protections. Ending poverty will require all of us to work together, through policies that
ensure economic growth benefits everyone. Let's fight to make a world where no one is left
behind!

2. Zero Hunger

Imagine going to bed hungry, not just for one night, but regularly. That’s the reality for over 800
million people globally. Hunger isn’t just about food—it’s about access to nutritious meals that
help people live healthy lives. Issues like conflict, climate change, and poor infrastructure make
it harder for many to access food. The solution is in sustainable agriculture and better food
systems. If we work together, we can end hunger by 2030 and ensure that everyone has access to
the nutrition they need to thrive.

3. Good Health and Well-being

The global health gap is stark—while some countries have advanced healthcare, others lack even
basic medical services. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw how these disparities left
millions vulnerable. Good health is a human right, and that means ensuring everyone,
everywhere, can access healthcare. Universal health coverage, disease prevention, and mental
health awareness are key solutions. Healthy lives are essential for sustainable development—
because without health, we have nothing.

4. Quality Education

Education is the foundation for a better life, but more than 250 million children worldwide are
out of school. Many face barriers like poverty, gender discrimination, or lack of infrastructure.
Quality education is not just about access but ensuring that children learn the skills they need to
succeed in life. By providing inclusive, equitable education for all, we can break the cycle of
poverty and open doors to a better future. Let’s make education a priority—because knowledge
is power.

5. Gender Equality

Women and girls around the world still face significant barriers, whether it's wage gaps, limited
access to education, or violence. Gender inequality holds back half the population, and in doing
so, it holds back everyone. Empowering women and girls means ensuring equal rights and
opportunities in all areas, from education to leadership roles. Gender equality isn't just a
women’s issue—it benefits everyone by fostering more inclusive and dynamic societies. Let's
work for a world where gender doesn’t limit anyone’s potential.
6. Clean Water and Sanitation

Can you imagine not having access to clean drinking water? That’s the reality for 2 billion
people worldwide. Lack of clean water and sanitation leads to disease, prevents children from
attending school, and makes life much harder for families. Sustainable water management and
improved infrastructure can change this. Everyone deserves clean water and proper sanitation.
It’s a basic human right, and one we can achieve with the right investment and commitment.

7. Affordable and Clean Energy

Energy powers our lives, but for many, it’s either unaffordable or unavailable. Nearly 1 billion
people live without electricity, relying on harmful fuels like coal or wood. Clean, renewable
energy is key to solving this, reducing environmental harm while improving lives. Solar, wind,
and other sustainable energy sources need to be made accessible to everyone. Affordable and
clean energy isn’t just possible—it’s essential for our future.

8. Decent Work and Economic Growth

Everyone deserves a fair shot at a decent job. Yet, millions of people work in conditions that are
unsafe, unfair, and don’t pay enough to live on. Sustainable economic growth means creating
jobs that protect workers’ rights, promote innovation, and support communities. Growth that
leaves people behind isn’t true progress. Let’s focus on building economies that provide
opportunities for all, ensuring that hard work pays off and people can thrive.

9. Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure

Strong infrastructure is the backbone of any successful society, but in many parts of the world,
it's lacking. Poor roads, limited access to technology, and weak industries hold back economic
progress. By investing in sustainable infrastructure and fostering innovation, we can build
stronger economies that lift everyone up. From bridges to broadband, let's create resilient
systems that support people and businesses now and into the future.

10. Reduced Inequalities

Inequality exists both within and among countries, whether it's in wealth, education, or access to
resources. Reducing these disparities isn’t just about fairness—it’s about creating a more stable
and inclusive world. When everyone has the chance to succeed, societies thrive. We need
policies that promote inclusion and opportunities for marginalized groups. Let’s make sure that
no one gets left behind, regardless of their background.

11. Sustainable Cities and Communities

Urbanization is happening rapidly, but many cities are not equipped to handle this growth. Issues
like pollution, housing shortages, and transportation challenges affect millions. Sustainable urban
development means creating cities that are resilient, inclusive, and environmentally friendly.
Green spaces, affordable housing, and efficient public transport are just a few ways we can make
cities better for everyone. Let’s build cities that are not only livable today but for generations to
come.

12. Responsible Consumption and Production

We’re using up the planet's resources faster than it can replenish them, and the waste we generate
is causing serious environmental harm. From fast fashion to food waste, unsustainable
consumption is a major problem. Responsible production and consumption mean using resources
more efficiently and reducing waste. Let’s shift our focus to sustainability, ensuring that what we
use today doesn’t take away from tomorrow.

13. Climate Action

Climate change is the defining issue of our time. Rising temperatures, extreme weather events,
and shifting ecosystems are affecting every part of the planet. We must act now to reduce carbon
emissions and build resilience against its impacts. The clock is ticking, and without immediate
action, the consequences will be devastating for future generations. Fighting climate change isn’t
just about protecting the environment—it’s about securing a livable future for all.

14. Life Below Water

Oceans cover more than 70% of the planet, yet we’re polluting them with plastic, overfishing,
and damaging ecosystems. Healthy oceans are crucial for life on Earth, providing food,
regulating the climate, and supporting biodiversity. We need to protect marine life and stop
harmful activities that threaten our seas. Whether it’s reducing plastic use or supporting
sustainable fishing, every action helps. Our oceans are vital, and it’s up to us to protect them.

15. Life on Land

Forests, mountains, and wildlife make up the rich diversity of life on Earth, but they’re under
threat from deforestation, habitat destruction, and climate change. Protecting life on land means
safeguarding ecosystems that provide resources and support biodiversity. Reforestation,
conservation efforts, and sustainable land management can help restore balance. Let’s protect
nature, because a healthy planet means a healthy future for all of us.

16. Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions

Peaceful, just societies are essential for sustainable development. Yet, many parts of the world
suffer from conflict, corruption, and weak institutions that deny people their rights. Strong
institutions that uphold justice, transparency, and human rights are key to creating lasting peace.
Let’s work towards building societies where everyone is treated fairly, laws are upheld, and
justice is accessible to all.

17. Partnership for the Goals

Achieving the SDGs is a collective effort—it can’t be done alone. Countries, businesses, and
communities must work together in partnership to make these goals a reality. Whether it’s
fighting climate change or promoting equality, global cooperation is key. The world is
interconnected, and only through collaboration can we create a sustainable and just future. Let’s
join forces and work together to achieve these ambitious but vital goals.
