Introduction
In this paper, I am going to discuss sustainable development goals. I choose this topic as I think
this is an important topic and people of the entire world in today's date are concerned about this
topic. It can be said that this is referred to as a hot topic and people, as well as various
organizations, are contributing much to achieving all those goals(Kroll et al., 2019). I totally
agree with this point that for the world to become much better, it is significant to achieve all of
those goals. In this paper, I will be discussing the concept of sustainabledevelopment goals in
depth and mainly I will be sharing my own perspective regarding the same.
Main Body
As I learned from this course that the United Nations has adopted a plan within they seek to
achieve a better future for every individual within the world. I also learned that with the help of
these sustainable development goals (SDGs), it will be easy to address the issue of poverty,
injustice, inequality and many other issues which are currently present in every country of the
world. I also get to know that achieving this goal will also help out the planet. For instance, I
take SDG 15 which mainly pays attention to managing the sustainability of forests, reversing and
halting lands, degradation of natural habits, combating desertification successfully and
preventing loss of biodiversity(Sianes et al., 2022). According to my perspective, this SDG is
much important for our planet and environment as this SDG facilitates conservation and
biodiversity sustainably. I also think that this SDG in turn helps to keep people healthy and fit
and also helps them to lead a healthy life. Similarly, there are other developmental goals that are
important for offering water, food and an enhanced ecosystem. I think it is much important to
have a balanced ecosystem as this will ensure that the needs of every individual are being
fulfilled. The most important thing which I have learned from this course is that SDGs almost
cover the aspects of every business. for instance, I found out from this course that this defines the
future opportunities of the business by providing the future leaders of business with the tools
using which they will be able to identify and increase the sustainable opportunities(Smith, 2020).
I have identified various ideas using which we also can contribute to these goals and we are
already doing some. For instance, there are various places where you might find writes that pay
