Ambitious goals for future trends！

The world we live in is increasingly complex. Over the past few decades, we have witnessed unprecedented economic growth and substantial progress on many key development issues. Yet the sweet fruits of success mask the fault lines of the current development model. These weak links have gradually increased the environmental and social burdens, posing an increasingly serious threat to our way of life and leading to the deterioration of the global business environment.👀👀👀

😢Over the past 40 years, global wildlife populations have declined by 60% due to pressure from human activities. Millions of plant and animal species face extinction within decades.

😢Between 2000 and 2015, more than 20% of the earth’s land was degraded.

😢Tropical forests are shrinking at an alarming rate equivalent to 30 football fields every minute.

😢8 million tons of plastic enter the ocean every year. Without action, there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050.

😢More than 700 million people live in extreme poverty on less than $2 a day.

😢Approximately 25 million people in global supply chains are subject to some form of forced labor.

😢There are more than 152 million cases of child labor worldwide.

☺The good news is, we know exactly what to do to address these challenges. The Sustainable Development Goals, unanimously adopted by United Nations member states in 2015, set out 17 goals that the world must achieve between now and 2030 to eliminate poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that everyone can enjoy peace and prosperity. The Sustainable Development Goals began to be promoted globally in 2016. This process is called "localization of the Sustainable Development Goals". All things, people, universities, governments, institutions and organizations on the planet are working together towards multiple goals. Governments must actively seek partners, incorporate the goals into national legal systems and legislate them, and formulate implementation plans and budgets. In addition, less developed countries need the support of highly developed countries, so international coordination is extremely important.🌳🌳🌳🌳

The Sustainable Development Goals call for action by all countries – whether they are poor, rich or middle-income – to promote economic prosperity while protecting the planet. The goals state that eradicating poverty must go hand in hand with a range of strategies, including promoting economic growth, addressing social needs in education, health, social protection and employment opportunities, curbing climate change and protecting the environment.🌴🌴🌿🌿
