Before the SDGs, there were the Millennium Goals. 2015 was targeted period. The goals haven’t been achieved. They have rebranded and become SGDs for 2030.

Most everything they say they're doing for good, they're actually doing the opposite. It's all about Total Control

Too bad corporate media never discusses real issues like this one. Thank you for reporting meaningful news. —- an American, worried and disappointed with the state of things

This ambitious TO DO list is very important. The main reasons the SDGoals have not been met is because of lack of political will by government leaders, lack of financial commitment, lack of good governance, wars aimed at stealing the resources of other nations, corporate greed, and global climate change. The world has the resources to meet the SDGs it is a matter of prioritizing where and how resources are allocated. Rather than spending huge resources on war, we need to Make Peace Profitable. We need to meet the needs of populations everywhere with the resources available. This can be done, it is a matter of popular and political will. There must be a huge paradigm shift to make this possible.

Poverty decreases with a vibrant ecconomy. Forcing many sdg or penalties on an ecconomy reduces that ecconomys efficency.

Just because you want something, doesn't mean it is possible.

Good to see the UN is doing the one thing they’re good at, failing 😂

[colbycappelli]

Who even put the UN in charge of all of this?

[Michigander-mp]

Rescue hopefully means to shut them down, we the people do not want it.

[butterbean]

How about the War in Ukraine? Is that good for SDG?

[clairelenia]

Well, the problem is, that most rich people, politicians etc in fact absolutely don't care about poverty, global warming or anything else, that is outside of their own interests.

So well 🙄😕 not really a surprise that this happened. And it probably won't change either :(

Les gusta hablar de esto por que les suena bonito, es todo. Son reuniones sin fin solo para justificar sus salarios, sus reuniones, y sus presupuestos

NO DIGITAL CURRENCY please. your one government world vision is not shared by the multitudes

[santiagosillar]

One world government....
THIS IS THE CULMINATION OF ALL EFFORT

[odirilemamba]

That's because they contradict each other

Is necktie sustainable? Are they nesssary?

[shin-ishikiri-no]

Billionaires have enough money to figure this out.

Once a European friend of mine a Dutch while visiting the Nerherlands told me, they get loans at 2% interests for their business, he even considered 3% interest to be high, In Africa we get loans at double digits not less than 10%, its very difficult to build up capital in Africa, them the Europeans are wondering why our people are arriving in thousands in Lampedusa, as long as capitalism continues the way it is people will always migrate, so my friends expect more youth on your shores

Do they agree on Planned Obsolescence?

What is the annual depreciation of durable consumer goods? Ever thought of mandatory accounting/finance in the schools?
