17 Sustainable Development Goals (now ka the Global Goals)

Updated: Sep 13, 2022

These goals are now (as of Sep2022) referred to as "the Global Goals". Note that Bill Gates via Gatesnotes.com is still pursuing these, and recently issued a report on progress made. He (or his org) is considered a "goal keeper" for these goals.


https://www.globalgoals.org

is a (new) website specifically focused on these goals and giving periodic news and

"progress" reports.


Here is what the systematic do-gooders are doing in the wide world.

Get more detail at the URL's above.

GOAL 1: No Poverty


GOAL 2: Zero Hunger


GOAL 3: Good Health and Well-being


GOAL 4: Quality Education


GOAL 5: Gender Equality


GOAL 6: Clean Water and Sanitation


GOAL 7: Affordable and Clean Energy


GOAL 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth


GOAL 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure


GOAL 10: Reduced Inequality


GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities


GOAL 12: Responsible Consumption and Production


GOAL 13: Climate Action


GOAL 14: Life Below Water


GOAL 15: Life on Land


GOAL 16: Peace and Justice Strong Institutions


GOAL 17: Partnerships to achieve the Goal


Lots of this is due to the leadership of Bill and Melinda Gates, the HDGIC's of the richest foundation in the world. HDGIC == Head Do Gooder in Charge


Bill and Melinda started much more focused and "small-sustainable-goal-oriented". However it is hard to avoid a bit of "scope creep" in pursuit of good causes. It adds up to a grand vision that is just worth pursuing. For my money, Goal 5: Gender Equality is the sleeper. It turns out that women are just more "saintly"-- loving and prudent and dedicated and effortful in the service of others. As women get more economic power (from Gender Equality goal), money at the bleeding edge will tend to be more wisely and productively spent, thus achieving some of the other goals (e.g. Zero Hunger) more rapidly...


There is no particular reason why the above generalizations about women should be true, but they just happen to hold up quite well across lots of low-economic-end situations, according to the hearsay that I get from studying things like this.
