Recently, I often hear SDGs, but why does the world need SDGs now? And how should we be involved in the SDGs? Regarding those questions, I think that it is to create an earth where everyone in the world can live comfortably, and for that purpose, we can contribute something to each of us.
In the first place, the SDGs indicate the goals that the entire international community adopted by the United Nations should work on. There are 17 goals and 169 targets that embody them, and it is intended to realize no one on the planet will be left behind by 2030. There are various reasons why such SDGs were born, such as the serious global environment, poverty, discrimination, and lack of food, education and medical care. It is each of us working on the SDGs to solve those problems. I think that each of us living on the earth should act regardless of wheter it is a developed country or a developing country. Why do you think each peson should act? That’s because otherwise you’ll end up with I couldn’t achieve everything, like the MDGs who tried to reach the eight goals adopted in 2000 by 2015. So what can each of us do to achieve the SDGs? First of all, what you can do right now is to learn about the SDGs and tell the people around you. This is an initiative that can only be done in the present age where you can easily connect with people all over the world. There are many other things you can do around you. For example, to save energy at home and reduce CO2 emissions, move by bicycle or on foot, use ecobags when shopping, buy as much as you can consume so as not to waste, follow the garbage separation rules, actively participate in recycling.Also, although it may not be possible immediately, we will go to developing countries to learn about the situation of the local people, donate useful things to people who are living with great thoughts, and deforestation to protect the global environment, actions such as urging them to stop are also possible. And sometimes people who want to achieve the SDGs get together and act, and one example is a company. Food and beverage companies have abolished plastic straws to reduce plastic waste, companies that buy and sell products chage shopping bags to encourage consumers to bring their own bags, and other companies also have consmers on SDGs. There are many companies that are contributing to SDGs through their own efforts, such as familiar efforts and raising awareness of recycling by feeling closer to the products that were actually recycled. In this way, the actions of each individual are linked to the actions of society as whole and become indispensable for achieving the SDGs.
The SDGs are now needed to tackle many of the world’s problems to be solved worldwise and to create an environment where everyone can live comfortably. There are many actions that each of us can take to achieve the SDGs, from familiar things to group actions. Each of us is the key to achieving the SDGs by 2030 and achieving no one on the planet left behind.
