UN Sustainable Goals
"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."
The following are the goals that are directly related to our PYP Exhibition Project: Say Yes to Reusable Bags!
The Climate Action goal is related to our project given the damage to the ozone layer caused by the harmful gasses that are produced during plastic bags production and descomposition.
The Life below Water goal is related to our project because marine life is one of the most affected by plastic pollution, with marine animals dying daily when they confuse plastic bags or other plastic waste with food.
