44453175No Poverty: More than one billion people still live on less than $1.25 a day. 44451270No Hunger: Small farmers and fishermen depend on the environment but ecological destruction prevents people from gathering food. Now, 925 million people suffer from hunger.4445381000Good Health: We have new medicine & technology to help but people are unable to gain these services from preventable diseases (which kill 11 children every minute)4445127000Quality Education: The world needs 2 million teachers and 4 million classrooms to help students gain an education which can help lift 170 million people from poverty if they were literate4445000Gender Equality: Many women lack access to jobs, education, and healthcare or are often discriminated against. Right now, 70% of women around the world earn 90% less than men. More equality can help increase standard of living.4445000Clean Water & Sanitation: People may have access to more water but plumbing for toilets are not common in less-developed cities, causing diseases to spread. More people have a mobile phone than a toilet.44453175Renewable Energy: Clean energy is more than helping the environment. 4.3 million people die from air pollutants in coal/gas stoves and 1.1 billion people lack electricity altogether.44454445Good Jobs & Economic Growth: Countries need to develop good jobs to help improve the economy. Currently, 190 million people are unemployed and, in some places, minimum wage is $0.64.44450Innovation & Infrastructure: Without proper infrastructure (roads, buildings, plumping), countries are unable to develop industries which help generate money and create jobs.4445127010. Reduced Inequality: We cannot develop if there are not equal opportunities for all people in a country and discrimination exists. For example, 8 richest people on Earth have the same wealth of 3.6 billion people combined.4445011. Sustainable Cities & Communities: In 10 years, 60% of the world will live in cities. Rapid urbanization can harm the environment and its people. Smart city growth is vital for the future.4445012. Responsible Consumption: We use too much (it’d take 5 Earths to support everyone if they all lived like Americans). The planet only has so many resources and people should use them correctly.444563513. Climate Action: Industrialization has led to the increase of carbon in the Earth over the past 150 years. Climate change can impact all development from agriculture to sea levels.4445014. Life Below Water: Marine life is being threatened by pollution and overfishing. 3 billion people rely on the oceans for work and 2.6 billion people eat seafood daily; maintaining sea life is vital for the future.4445317515. Life on Land: Biodiversity is on the decline due to an increase need of resources and growth of cities. Without ecological sustainability, the planet will lose precious, non-renewable resources.4445381016. Peace & Justice: We can only live in a developed, sustainable world with peace and inclusion. This means to eliminate wars and prevent crime as $14.3 trillion was spent on instability last year. 444563517. Partnerships for the Goals: People need to be willing and able to work together towards these 17 goals. Case in point, half the world’s population that lived in poverty in 1990 have risen out of it. They are all obtainable! ................
