In September 2015, countries adopted a set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. The Sustainable Development Goals are the proposal to realize an improved and more sustainable future for all. They refer to the global tasks we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace, and justice. The 17 Goals are all unified, and to leave no one behind, it is important that we achieve them all by 2030. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or Global Goals are a collection of seventeen interlinked objectives designed to serve as a “shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. The special purpose of the PPP is (SDGs). The 17 Sustainable Goals also calls Global Goals, the brief explanation of (SDGs) projects is below.
GOAL 1: NO POVERTY
SDG 1 is to: “End poverty in all its forms everywhere. Achieving SDG 1 would end extreme poverty globally by 2030. One of its indicators is the proportion of the population living below the poverty line. The data gets analyzed by sex, age, employment status, and geographical location (urban/rural). The goal has seven targets and 13 indicators to measure progress. The five outcome targets are: eradication of extreme poverty; reduction of all poverty by half; implementation of social protection systems; ensuring equal rights to ownership, basic services, technology, and economic resources; and the building of resilience to environmental, economic, and social disasters. The two targets related to means of implementation SDG 1 are mobilization of resources to end poverty; and the establishment of poverty eradication policy frameworks at all levels.
GOAL 2: END HUNGER, ACHIEVE FOOD SECURITY AND IMPROVED NUTRITION AND PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE
Feeding the world without destroying more nature will become increasingly difficult and eventually impossible under sustained population growth. According to the World Resources Institute, the calorie requirements of a population of 10 billion are 56% higher than current total crop production. Agriculture is already a leading cause of environmental degradation and further conversion of land for farming purposes will have devastating consequences for biodiversity and our climate. A landmark 2019 report by the EAT-Lancet Commission states “Healthy diets from sustainable food systems are possible for up to 10 billion people but become increasingly unlikely past this population threshold.” Our population is projected to exceed 10 billion in the second half of the century. When population growth exceeds development progress, past achievements are quickly undone – the number of people suffering from hunger has increased again over the past three years. Experts have warned that vulnerable areas like the Sahel face catastrophe unless action is taken to reduce fertility rates.
Goal 3: GOOD HEALTH AND WELL-BEING
Goal 4: QUALITY EDUCATION
SD
GOAL 5: IMMUNISATION = EMPOWERED WOMEN AND GIRLS
SDG 5 is to: “Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.” Indicators include, for example, having suitable legal frameworks and the representation by women in national parliament or in local deliberative bodies. Numbers on forced marriage and female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) are also included in another indicator. This section has 6 indicators. (1)-ending all forms of discrimination against all women and girls everywhere. (2)–ending violence and exploitation of women and girls. (3)–eliminating harmful practices such as child early and forced marriage and female genital mutilation. (4)–increasing value of unpaid care and promoting shared domestic responsibilities. (5). ensuring full participation of women in leadership and decision-making. (6)–ensuring access to universal reproductive rights and health.
The three means of implementation targets are: (1)-fostering equal rights to economic resources, property ownership, and financial services for women. (2)- promoting empowerment of women through technology. (3)– adopting and strengthening policies for gender equality and supporting legislation to enforce it.
Goal Number 6 ENSURE ACCESS TO WATER AND SANITATION FOR ALL.
“Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.” The Joint Monitoring Program (JMP) of WHO and UNICEF is responsible for monitoring progress to achieve the first two targets of this goal. Important indicators for this goal are the percentages of the population that uses safely managed drinking water and has access to safely managed sanitation. The JMP reported in 2017 that 4.5 billion people do not have safely managed sanitation. Another indicator looks at the proportion of domestic and industrial wastewater that is safely treated. The six outcome targets include: Provide safe and affordable drinking water, end open defecation, and provide access to sanitation, and hygiene, improve water quality, wastewater treatment and safe reuse, increase water-use efficiency and ensure freshwater supplies, implement IWRM, protect and restore water-related ecosystems.
Goal Number 7: EFFICIENT EQUIPMENT = CLEANER ENVIRONMENT
Goal 8: DECEN T WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH (HEALTHY POPULATION = MORE PRODUCTIVE WORKFORCE)
SDG 8 is to: “Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.” Important indicators for this goal include economic growth in least developed countries and the rate of real GDP per capita. Further examples are rates of youth unemployment and occupational injuries, or the number of women engaged in the labor force compared to men.
SDG 8 HAS TWELVE TARGETS.

GOAL 9: INDUSTRY, INNOVATION, AND INFRASTRUCTURE
SDG 9 is to: “Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and foster innovation.” Indicators in this goal include for example, the proportion of people who are employed in manufacturing activities, are living in areas covered by a mobile network, or who have access to the internet. An indicator that is connected to climate change is “CO2 emissions per unit of value added.“
A functioning and resilient infrastructure is the foundation of every successful community. To meet future challenges, our industries and infrastructure must be upgraded. For this, we need to promote innovative sustainable technologies and ensure equal and universal access to information and financial markets. This will bring prosperity, create jobs, and make sure that we build stable and prosperous societies across the globe. SDG 9 has eight targets, and progress is measured by twelve indicators. The first five targets are outcome targets: develop sustainable, resilient, and inclusive infrastructures; promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization; increase access to financial services and markets; upgrade all industries and infrastructures for sustainability; enhance research and upgrade industrial technologies.
