The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were established by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all by 2030. Comprising 17 goals and 169 targets, the SDGs address interconnected challenges ranging from poverty, hunger, and health to education, gender equality, clean water, and climate action.

These goals are designed to promote sustainable development by integrating economic, social, and environmental dimensions. They recognize the need for collaboration among governments, businesses, civil society, and individuals to achieve transformative change. The SDGs emphasize inclusivity, leaving no one behind, and underline the importance of partnerships to tackle global issues collectively.

Key themes include eradicating poverty and hunger, ensuring good health and well-being, quality education, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, affordable and clean energy, decent work and economic growth, industry innovation and infrastructure, reduced inequalities, sustainable cities and communities, responsible consumption and production, climate action, life below water and on land, peace, justice, and strong institutions, and partnerships for the goals.

The SDGs serve as a roadmap for a more sustainable and equitable future, encouraging countries and stakeholders worldwide to work collaboratively toward a world that balances the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

In the course of our project, we directed our primary attention towards the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4 (Quality Education) and 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). Our emphasis was placed on the utilization of reusable materials with universal availability, intending to facilitate education on sustainability principles. Our educational approach involved the judicious use of these finite resources, predominantly focusing on imparting knowledge related to SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 14 (Life Below Water), and SDG 15 (Life on Land).

The educational strategy used in distributing information on these specific goals aimed to increase awareness and understanding of the principles of sustainability among the target audience, especially children. The selection of topics under the SDGs is in line with our commitment to promote comprehensive knowledge about sustainability and the related goals.
