Sustainable development means the way of meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. To ensure sustainable development, in 2015 United Nations established a set of 17 interconnected goals which are called, Sustainable Development Goals. 

 
Goal 1: No poverty
End poverty in all its forms everywhere. This goal was highly affected recently by the Covid-19 pandemic all over the world.
 
Goal 2: Zero Hunger
End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture. About 1 in 10 people worldwide are suffering from hunger. Nearly 1 in 3 people lack regular access to adequate food. 149.2 million children under age 5 suffer from stunting. This goal is highly affected by climate change and growing inequalities.
 
Goal 3: Good health and well-being
Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. Covid-19 hit this goal so hard. 500 million people worldwide were infected leading to 15 million deaths. Global life expectancy dropped, immunization coverage dropped, and the prevalence of anxiety/depression increased recently. 22.7 million children missed basic vaccines in 2020.

Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities 
Reduce inequality within and among countries.
 
Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.
 
Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.
Goal 13: Climate Action: 
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
 
Goal 14: Life Below Water
Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development.
 
Goal 15: Life on Land
Protect, restore, and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, and halt biodiversity loss.
 
Goal 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions
Promote peaceful and inclusive societies, provide access to justice for all, and build effective, accountable, and inclusive institutions at all levels.
 
Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals 
Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.
 
These SDGs are designed to be universal and integrated, addressing the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of sustainability in a holistic manner. They provide a framework for governments, organizations, and individuals to work together towards a more sustainable and equitable world by 2030.
