Sustainable Development

“Talking about the problems of the world without talking about some accessible solutions is the way to paralysis rather than progress.” –Abhijit V. Banerjee, Poor Economics: Rethinking Poverty & the Ways to End it

“The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice.”-United Nation
