lobal sustainability is a collective responsibility not only to be left to government, but also part of each individual’s civic responsibility. Sustainability requires the availability of social, economic and natural resources for future generations. In simplified terms, it requires us learning how to meet current needs without jeopardizing the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were agreed in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly and are intended to be achieved by the year 2030. There were 17 specific goals identified as crucial to the sustainability of the planet and of humankind. A renewed awareness and
