The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future.

At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries – developed and developing – in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.

Now, let’s take a moment to imagine what the world would look like if the Sustainable Development Goals were achieved?

The Sustainable Development Goals will be discussed in the Schools for the World Congress in Cape Town.

The EREBB Congress 2020 promises to be an amazing gathering that will enable Edmund Rice schools from around the world to come together and reaffirm our commitment to offering an education that builds a better world for all people. Register Now
