Everyone is talking about goals in different contexts. There are 17 goals that we should be aware if we enjoying living this in planet and want to make a difference.

I enjoy very much reading and one of my preferred topics is Sustainability. The Division for Sustainable Development Goals (DSDG) in the United Nations has 17 Sustainable Development Goals. I know these goals are coming from higher institutions and countries to reflect an aspirational target operating model but I feel we are citizens and we can do something about it. We can help from our place and roles in the society. I would say this is about picking the battles as surely, we cannot fight all at the same time. The goals might look obvious but it’s still a fresh reminder of where it’s important to focus.
