Global Goals Week is an annual week of action, awareness, and accountability for the Sustainable Development Goals.
What are the Sustainable Development Goals?
The Sustainable Development Goals are a set of global priorities for ensuring that economic, environmental, social and cultural wellbeing is achieved for everyone around the world. They are ambitious goals for governments across the world to achieve, but there is a lot we can do at school and at home to support them.
Why are the goals important?
The goals aim to end poverty, protect the planet and try to make sure that everyone around the world is living comfortably. All very important and worthwhile goals to work towards! Each goal has specific targets for governments to achieve over the next 14 years. In schools, we can help to support the meeting of these targets.
How can we play our part in achieving these goals?
In our school we already do lots of excellent work to make the world clean, green and more sustainable! We have also made links between our Climate Action Schools projects and the Sustainable Development Goals so we will be able to record, monitor and evaluate our progress in helping achieve these goals.
This year we will be highlighting the following goals and this week was an introduction to these goals:
Global Goal 3: Daily Walking Club, Joint Healthy Snack
Global Goal 12: Paper recycing projects
Global Goal 15: Natural Art projects, Outdoor Music
