Eys Sdgs World Council

In September 2015, all 193 Member States of the United Nations adopted a plan for achieving a better future for all laying out a path to end extreme poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and protect our planet. At the heart of “Agenda 2030” are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which clearly define the world we want to apply to all nations and leaving no one behind. The new Global Goals result from a process that has been more inclusive than ever, with Governments involving business, civil society and citizens from the outset. We are all in agreement on where the world needs to go. Fulfilling these ambitions will take an unprecedented effort by all sectors in society — and humanity has to play a very important role. ‘The beauty of the goals is that everyone can contribute, and every contribution, small or big, will impact our world. In our industry, we have seen how the goals have shaped the business environment, and for the better. The Paris Agreement alone has helped open up AUD$ 29 trillion in business opportunities for emerging markets for climate-smart investments.’ ‘Working primarily in developing and transitional countries, we see the impact, both the negative impact of the changing environment and the growing inequality, but also the positive impact of the goals and how they are helping create better opportunities for the local communities. We have to use this momentum and keep pushing towards achieving the goals, so we can create a better world for us all.’ Our Mission People, Planet, Partnerships, Prosperity and Peace are our top priority. It’s about how we can eradicate extreme poverty and ensure sustainability. SDGs are the ideals that 193 countries at the United Nations in September 2015 committed to achieving together. At eYs SDGs World Council we set goals assessing and identifying the areas we can improve to maximize sustainabilty and hold governments and organizations accountable toward the 2030 United Nations SDGs.
