In September 2015, 193 member states of the United Nations put forward a plan, called “Agenda 2030”, for achieving a better future for all. Over the next 15 years, it laid a path of ending extreme poverty, battling inequalities and injustice, and protecting our planet.

In 2022, the 15-year goals have reached halfway so 12 out of the 17 goals have been chosen for the 12 months (Please note that the goal number is at the beginning):

1. 1 No poverty
2. 2 Zero hunger
3. 3 Good health and wellbeing
4. 4 Quality education
5. 5 Gender equality
6. 6 Clean water and sanitation
7. 7 Affordable and clean energy
8. 8 Decent work and economic growth
9. 11 Sustainable cities and communities
10. 12 Responsible consumption and production
11. 13 Climate action
