We will only usher in a flourishing future if we are committed to improving the quality of life of every being and ecosystem on planet earth. The SDGs are manifesting this intention by activating universal goals that offer us hope by guiding us on a more sustainable course. The goals are part of a wider global movement that puts investing in our future and thus future generations at the forefront.
In Agenda 21, the action plan produced at the original Earth Summit (UN Conference on Environment and Development) held in Brazil, in 1992 called for the “social, economic and spiritual development” of all by recognizing that “individuals should be allowed to develop their full potential, including healthy physical, mental and spiritual development.”
The SDGs are all about embracing this original vision. They send a clear signal that together we can birth a kinder and more caring sustainable world, one based on the well-being and fullest potential of the whole.
