Assignment:
On 1 January 2016, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development - adopted by world leaders in September 2015 at an historic UN Summit - officially came into force. These goals address every topic of concern we have discussed this semester. Over the coming decade, it's the hope of UN member nations (which includes the U.S.) that the SDGs will universally be applied to all, countries will mobilize efforts to end all forms of poverty, fight inequalities and tackle climate change, while ensuring that no one is left behind.
With the SDGs as your reference, answer these questions:
1. Are any of the 17goals from the UN website particularly unrealistic-describe, in detail, why you think so (or not).
2. Which of the 17 goals do you believe is the highest priority for the world and why? Cite specific examples from class content, discussions and assessments.
