If you don't already know, the Global Goals are 17 goals for sustainable development which were agreed to by 193 world leaders in September of last year. Meeting these goals could end poverty, inequality and climate change by 2030.

The Global Goals will only work if we fight for them, and to do that, everyone has to know what they are so the aim is to make them famous. Everyone needs to know about the Global Goals. Leaders all over the world have agreed to them, but we need to make sure they actually happen.

Here is an insight into what each of the Global Goals are and the outcomes we are trying to achieve by 2030 -

1) No Poverty - By 2030 extreme poverty will be eradicated from all people everywhere.

I have found all of the information above from the Global Goals website, which you will find here, to learn more about them. I felt it was necessary to word the Goals and the outcomes exactly as they are on the site because there is no other way of putting it, to stress how important these things are for us and for our futures.




YouTuber Tanya Burr also wrote a blog post about the Global Goals which will give you even more information on them here. Keep talking about the Goals and know you are making a difference.
