Ep.1/ The UN SDGs - Building a Sustainable Business
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
The 17 SDGs are integrated—they recognize that action in one area will affect outcomes in others, and that development must balance social, economic and environmental sustainability.
Countries have committed to prioritize progress for those who're furthest behind. The SDGs are designed to end poverty, hunger, AIDS, and discrimination against women and girls.

In this episode we will discuss the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), what they mean and what the current status is. We will discuss in more detail on what the goals of the SDGs are and the role of technology in this. How can technology enable achieving these SDGs and what is the progress on this. What is the role of IT and IT leaders in relation to these SDGs.
The Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice. The 17 Goals are all interconnected, and in order to leave no one behind, it is important that we achieve them all by 2030.
