Inclusive project management

We have learnt the initiatives of EU in the previous notion.
In this section, we will learn what is done on a global level.

Agenda 2030

In 2015, 193 UN countries around the world adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It is an action plan in favour of people, the planet and prosperity, which also intends to strengthen universal peace and access to justice. At the heart of Agenda 2030 are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with 169 objectives of an integrated and indivisible nature that cover the economic, social and environmental spheres.

Here is a brief summary of these goals: [image]https://thegoodmanager.eu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/The-17-Sustainable-Development-Goals-SDGs.png [/image]

• 5 Gender Equality: to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.

• 17 Partnerships for the Goals: to strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the World Partnership for Sustainable Development.

Out of these 17 goals, we highlight the ones that are directly connected to the environment, being these the following: the cleaning and sanitation of water; the sustainable management of forests; responsible consumption and production; affordable and clean energy; and, finally, climate action. It is our responsibility, not only as an enterprise, but also as citizens, to be conscious about all these topics, since we all live in the same planet and there is nowhere else to go if we destroy it. Even though we are highlighting those, all of them are important in order to protect our planet and to make sure everybody in this world lives a decent life.
