UNITED NATIONS' SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
UNITED NATIONS’ SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
From the United Nations “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.” Boardwalk has assessed these goals and believes some of its activities are aligned with the SDGs as summarized on the following page. As we look at future periods, Boardwalk intends to formally align with the United Nations’ SDGs.
