- Address climate change to protect essential resources for all living organisms.
Importance of Objectives
- Extreme Poverty: In 2015, 836 million people still lived in extreme poverty.
- Inequality: Persecution limits opportunities for a fulfilling life.
- Climate Change: Global CO2 emissions surged nearly 50% since 1990, emphasizing urgent climate action.
Development of SDGs
- Followed the conclusion of the Millennium Development Goals, highlighting the need for ongoing improvements in health and well-being.
- Focused on emerging global challenges, particularly climate change.
SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being
