January 19th, 2025, is a significant date for several reasons. It marks the 10th anniversary of the signing of the Paris Agreement, a landmark international accord on climate change. Additionally, it is the target date for the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a set of 17 goals adopted by all United Nations member states in 2015.
The SDGs address a wide range of issues, including poverty, hunger, health, education, gender equality, and climate change. Achieving these goals by 2025 would have a profound impact on the world, making it a more just, sustainable, and equitable place for all. However, significant challenges remain, and it is essential that all stakeholders work together to ensure that the SDGs are met.
