Abstract

Referred to as comprehensive, universal, anthropocentric, and utopian, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been unanimously embraced by United Nations member states in 2015, signifying a worldwide pledge toward specific objectives to accomplish by 2030. The SDGs aim to eradicate poverty and injustice, establish socio-economic inclusion, and protect the planet and its biospheres. The SDGs function as a forum for a global dialogue on efficacious resolutions to core issues pertaining to poverty and ecological deterioration.
