2. The Sustainable Development Goals

  • In 2015 the United Nations Member States adopted The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership.

    They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.

     

    Watch the video and say which goals are more related to climate change and why in the Twinboard below.

     

    Write the translation of the SDGs in your national language.

    Go to the table. 

  • Which goals are more related to climate change and why?

    Ilaria Barretta

    The goals that I think are more related to climate change are number 2 and 12 and I also think that in a certain way they're connected because if we all avoided wasting food, maybe even when we buy excessive quantities that we then throw because we didn't really need that large portion, I don't say that we would make hunger disappear in the world but certainly would give its great contribution

    Maria Stella Piergiovanni

    In my opinion the goals more related to climate change are:
    -Number 7, because reducing the cost of clean energy will allow more people all around the world to use it. Clean energy is really important for our planet, because the CO2 emission are increasing global warmth

    -Number 11, because sostainable cities, as previously said, will help new and cleaner energies to be used in common people's life

    -Number 13, because it is specifically created for this global problem

    Giulia Giulianelli

    In my opinion the goals related to climate change are:
    The number 6,clean water and sanitation,because it does not pollute the sea,many fish risk to die with the plastic in the water.
    The number 12,Responsible Consumption and Production, because the energy must be used responsibly without wasting it. And also important not to waste food.
    The number 13,Climate Action,because for example when we live near the supermarket or shop we can go there without taking the car for not pollute the air.

    Maya Girometti

    In my opinion the goals that are more related to climate change are number 3 because with a good climate we can also have a good health and well being, to this goal is related the number 6 because having clean and sanitized water would help our heath. The number 12 is related to climate change too because if we all consume and produce responsibly the world would be less contaminated.

    Asia Saccomandi

    The goals more related to climate change in my opinion are:
    -Number 13, "Climate action" because it's created specifically for this problem , who affects all the world
    -Number 12, "Responsible consumption and production ", because we have to use and buy the things we need, but we mustn't waste
    -Number 6, "Clean water and sanitation", because is important for all the people in the world, have a good hygiene and services, like hospitals, but is also important to have clean water for don't pollute the sea.
    All of this goals in my opinion are related to climate change, but these three are the most important for me

    Alessandro marturano

    for me the most related goals with the climate changes are:
    the number 11: sustainable cities and communities, because for me the most influential cause of pollution are the cars in the cities and the houses, palaces emissions, a sustainable city can help in this situation.
    the number 7: affordable and clean energy, because as I said before one of the most influential cause of pollution are car movements and houses emissions and with a renewable energies all this things can have a reduced impact in the nature.

    Kiara Shabaj

    The goals that I think are more related to climate change are number 13 and 15
    The fight against climate change concerns everyone . It is something impossible to ignore for this reason to win the fight against the climate change the help of everyone is needed , children and adults.
    Life on land has changed , there is no place here where you don't find a piece of paper. It seems that people don't care : What a piece of paper will ever be ? That piece of paper pollutes the land as it can pollute the sea,we put at risk the life of the animals that by eating it dies or we find it on our plates when we eat… everything that we throw comes back to us . For this reason we must become more respectful and less selfish

    Beatrice Crinelli

    My opinion is that the exploitation of natural resources (which are not inexhaustible) by mans has led to the impoverishment of the territory and serious environmental problems. For this it is necessary that the INNOVATION INDUSTRY brings new forms of energy as soon as possible, for example: solar energy, water and wind exploitation. These new forms of clean and renewable energy, together with RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION will bring great benefits to the climate and the environment.

    Chiara Del Baldo

    I think that the goals more related to climate change are the numbers 7 and 13: the seven because there are a lot of ways to obtain energy that damage the environment, for example nuclear energy; and the 13 because is created on purpose to "defeat" this problem.

    Stella Pastore

    In my opinion the goals that are most related to climate change are:
    The goal number 7, "affordable and clean energy", beacause the energy causes a lot of environmental problems, so we have to make it more affordable, clean and sustainable to solve this problem;
    The number 11, "sustainable cities and communities", beacause a lot of environmental problems are caused by the pollution of the cars, factories and gas emissions that happen in the cities;
    The number 13, "Climate action", beacause it talks about climate change and the environmental disasters.

    Denise Cirelli

    In my opinion the goals more related to climate change are number 7 and number 14.
    Number 7 because our energy consumption and production have a huge impact on climate and viceversa:climate can alter our energy production potential and our enerdy needs.
    Number 14 because global warming is leading to an increase in surface and deep water temperatures with particulary evident consequences in a semi-closed basin and heavily impacted by human activities.

    Paolini Niccolò

    For me the goals that are more related to climate change are number 15 and number 17.
    Number 15 is important because in the land it's very important to have a good life,so we have a good food.
    Also the number 17 is important because without partner these goals are impossible to do and we'll have the climate change

    Paparelli Laura

    i belive that the most important goals are number 6 and number 8.
    The goal number 6 is very important because if we want to be healthy we have to drink and use clean water because dirty water brings diseases.
    The goals number 8 is very important too, because if you have a decent work you also have a good salary, and if you have a good salary you can buy ecological products which are more expensive than the "normal" products.
    Ecological products are healtier for the environment.

    Andrea Forlani

    For me the goals more related to climate change are:
    Number 6, clean water and sanitation, because
    for me it is important that the water is sanitized because there is a unnecessary waste.
    Number 13, Climate Action because talks about climate change and the enviroment.

    Omar Maknine

    in my opinion,the goals that are more related to climate change are number 2 and 9.
    And i also think that if we don't reduce infrastructures and massive productions,there will never be a safe and healthy future.Since industries and factories are all over the place and by producing they emit large quantities of carbon dioxide which really harms the earth.
    While for number 2,lots of countries have difficulties in finding a way to eat,that is really spoiling the earth since there are a lot of countries who have an excess of food and they will never consume it.

    Giada Candelaresi

    In my opinion the goals that are more related to climate change are:
    -Number 7, because clean energy is really important for our planet, and reducing the cost will allow more people to use it.

    - Number 11, "sustainable cities and communities", beacause the most of the environmental problems are caused by the pollution of cars, factories and gas emissions.

    Paula Mendoza

    The goals that I think are more related to climate change are:
    -number 13(climate action).Because is talking about the climate
    -number 7 (afaborable and CLEAN energy). Because it wants clean energy
    -number 6 (clean water and sanitation). Because is providing a clean sea
    - number 12 (Responsible production and consmption). It's related with the clean energy

    Joel Macias

    In my opinion, the goals that are more related to climate change are the 7 and 6,because clean energy is so important for all so we can use it, and
    6 because it is essential for all of us

    Ignasi Barrios

    In my opinion the goals more related to climate change are number 14 the number 7 and the number 11.
    Number 7 because our consume and generation of the energy hava a big impact on the climate.
    Number 14 because global warming is increasing in the surface and affect to all the animals and plants
    The number 11, because sostainable cities will help to decrease the contamination level.

    Andrea Bonet

    From my point of view ,the goals that are related tp climate change are:
    -"No poverty",because the world is over exploding and resources will end for everyone
    -"Good Health and Well-Being",because are appearing a lot of new sickness.
    -"Quality Eucation",because the childs must learn to take care of the environment.
    -"Affodable Clean Energi",because is less contaminant.
    -"Sustainable Cities and Communities",beacause the most of the environmental problems are caused by the pollution of cars, factories and gas emissions.
    -"Climate Action",because among all have to intent chanche the climatology.

    Alba Mola

    In my opinion the goals more related to climate change are:
    -Number 7,  the affordable and clean energy they can help us in climate change because we use energy for many things and most are highly pollutable and if we use energy that does not pollute and is more affordable for all people we would help the planet a lot. 
    -Number 11, sustanible cities and communities because most of the pollution comes from cities as there are a lot of cars and factories and if their production could be reduced in the case of factories ,and the increase in electric cars, there would be more sustainable cities.

    Selena Carracedo

    I think that the goals related with climate change are:
    - Number 6: there are many water that is polluted by toxic chemicals
    - Number 7: if we use only affordable energy, we will pollute less
    - Number 11: we can make our cities more sustainable by using, for example, renewable and clean energy

    Ivan Salvadó

    In my opinion the goals that are more related to the climate change are:
    -14"Life Below Water"
    -15"Life on Land"
    Because it's important to protect the natural live everywere, on the alnd and the sea.
