Today it is SDG action day, part of a whole week full of action to promote and implement projects supporting reaching the SDG targets. The Dutch website has a report of all the speakers at the main event in Utrecht today who share their knowledge and stories in SDG Talks.
For the SDGs, it is important to keep in mind that while their are 17 separate goals with each their own targets, they should not be thought of as separate items to check off of a list. We can see the global progress per country for most of the targets of the goals. But investing in one goal means another goal might be affected negatively or positively, something that projects should think about beforehand. Synergies may be possible.
For our LILa project the most important SDG to contribute to is 11, Sustainable cities and communities. Other strongly related goals are:
- 4 Quality education
- 6 Clean water and sanitation
- 7 Affordable and clean energy
- 9 Industry, innovation, and infrastructure
- 12 Responsible production and consumption
- 13 Climate Action
We intend to keep track on how the project contributes to each of these SDGs.
