United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
SDGs: In 2015, the United Nations announced the "2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development," which includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as ending poverty, combating climate change, and promoting gender equality, to guide global efforts toward sustainability.
- End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.
Zero Hunger, Sustainable Development Goal 2, aims to promote sustainable agriculture and enhance food security to ensure that our nation's food production system can cope with the challenges of climate change and ecological burdens. This goal is achieved through policies that strengthen productive resources, financial services, infrastructure development, and sound markets, all of which are designed to increase agricultural productivity and farmers' incomes while balancing seed protection and pollution prevention.
- Good Health and Well-being: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
The goal of "Good Health and Well-being" is to increase healthcare coverage for all citizens of every age, while strengthening the response to threats against life and health, and conducting health risk management.
- Quality Education: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
The "Quality Education" goal advocates lifelong learning, ensuring that all citizens have access to comprehensive, equitable, and high-quality educational resources at every stage of their lives. Furthermore, it focuses on supportive measures such as promoting public childcare, technology and vocational skills training, assistance for vulnerable groups, and cultural enrichment.
- Gender Equality: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.
The "Gender Equality" goal promotes gender mainstreaming and maintaining a balanced sex ratio at birth. Given that women have long been a vulnerable group, the focus is on advancing measures such as protection for women against intimate partner violence and sexual assault, closing the gap in unpaid domestic and family care work for married women, and encouraging women to hold managerial positions.
- Environmental Quality: Ensure environmental quality and sustainably manage environmental resources.
The "Environmental Quality" goal encompasses two aspects: environmental quality and resource governance. It integrates water resource management, air pollution prevention, waste and resource recycling, soil pollution remediation, and ensuring environmental hygiene, while also emphasizing public participation.
- Affordable and Clean Energy: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all
The "Affordable and Clean Energy" goal focuses on ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all. This involves continuously improving modernized and sustainable energy services, promoting energy systems that save energy and reduce carbon emissions, and increasing the proportion of clean fuel electricity generation, such as from renewable energy and natural gas.
- Decent Work and Economic Growth: Promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.
The "Decent Work and Economic Growth" goal has two main focuses. The "Decent Work" aspect aims to enhance labor productivity, strengthen youth employment capabilities, and promote gender equality and safety in the workplace. The "Economic Growth" aspect, through measures such as promoting the Internet of Things, the digital economy, and financing assistance, encourages and guides industries to invest in high-value, green economy, and innovative development, thereby fostering inclusive and sustainable economic strength.
- Sustainable Transport: Develop transport that is affordable, safe, environmentally friendly, resilient, and sustainable for the public.
The "Sustainable Transport" goal primarily focuses on the comprehensive development of our country's public transportation system, which includes highways, railways, high-speed rail, and the pedestrian-friendly public transit system that serves as the "last mile." Furthermore, given that road traffic casualties affect our country's young and middle-aged population, it is also a critical issue for our sustainable development.
- Reduced Inequalities: Reduce inequality within and among countries.
The "Reduced Inequalities" goal, in order to balance human dignity with socio-economic equality, provides various inclusive and supportive measures. These include improving employment for Indigenous peoples, promoting gender equality, providing social security for vulnerable groups, increasing the household income of lower-income families, encouraging the development of social innovation and social enterprises, and fostering cooperation with developing countries.
- Sustainable Cities and Communities: Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
The "Sustainable Cities" goal aims to build cities and communities with inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable characteristics through various aspects, including housing, transport, disaster prevention, environmental protection, information infrastructure, social security, public participation, and cultural heritage.
- Responsible Consumption and Production: Promote green economy, and ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.
The "Responsible Consumption and Production" goal focuses on managing material usage and resource circulation, promoting the Cradle to Cradle design concept, advancing circular agriculture, and developing sustainable tourism to foster a green economy and ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.
- Climate Action: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts by developing mitigation and adaptation measures
The "Climate Action" goal focuses on developing comprehensive mitigation and adaptation measures to address climate change and its impacts. This includes enhancing adaptive capacity, strengthening resilience and reducing vulnerability, implementing phased greenhouse gas emission control targets, and improving climate change and sustainability education and public literacy.
- Life Below Water: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development.
The "Life Below Water" goal primarily focuses on preventing marine pollution, sustainably managing marine and coastal areas, combating Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing, and implementing the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). The aim is to conserve and sustainably use marine ecosystems, ensuring biodiversity and preventing marine environment degradation.
- Life on Land: Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss.
The "Life on Land" goal focuses on the conservation and sustainable use of terrestrial and inland freshwater ecosystems, including sustainable forests, biodiversity, land and soil restoration, wildlife protection, the fair and equitable use of genetic resources, and the management of invasive alien species.
- Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions: Promote peaceful and inclusive societies, ensure equal access to justice, and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels
The "Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions" goal aims to promote peaceful and inclusive societies, strengthen social safety nets and improve child protection, and ensure equal access to justice [1.0].
