SDG EVENT

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), otherwise known as the Global Goals, are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. These 17 Goals build on the successes of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), while including new areas such as climate change, economic inequality, innovation, sustainable consumption, peace and justice, among other priorities.

The goals are interconnected – often the key to success on one will involve tackling issues more commonly associated with another. The SDG Choupal, a continual joint initiative of Nagrik Foundation, The Cradle and Worth & Trust, is an endeavour to educate and aware every stakeholder of the SDG Agenda whether they are Government functionaries, Corporate world or Civil societies.
