TL;DR: SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals

• SDG 17 focuses on strengthening global partnerships to achieve sustainable development.

• Progress is currently off-track, with rising debt, conflict, and climate impacts widening inequality.

• True sustainability requires collaboration across countries, sectors, and communities.

• Private organisations can support this goal through partnerships, knowledge sharing, and accessible education.

In 2015, leaders from 193 different countries agreed on 17 global goals they felt the world needed to achieve by 2030.  

This week, we look at SDG17, Partnerships for the Goals, which has as a main objective to strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development. 

As the UN states: “The Global Goals can only be met if we work together. International investments and support are needed to ensure innovative technological development, fair trade and market access, especially for dev...

Sustainable Development Goal 5 focuses on achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls by promoting equal rights, opportunities, and access to resources. 

What's the Purpose of SDG 5?

The purpose of SDG 5 is to eliminate all forms of discrimination and violence against women and girls, promote their access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities, and ensure their equal representation. This goal also aims to promote gender-sensitive policies and laws and eliminate harmful practices such as child marriage and female genital mutilation.

Access to Maternal Healthcare

One key aspect of this goal is ensuring that women have access to maternal healthcare services that meet their needs and that they are included in the decision-making process when it comes to their health. In Ireland, there has been a call to include women with Gestational Diabetes (GDM) on the Long-Term Illness (LTI) Scheme for the duration of pregnancy. Diabetes Ireland reports that each ...

Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3) aims to ensure good health and well-being at all ages. This includes a commitment to end the increase of AIDS, Tuberculosis, Malaria, and other communicable diseases by 2030. It also aims to achieve universal health coverage and provide access to safe and effective medicines and vaccines for all.


 

What would the world look like if there was more importance put on SDG 3?

If this goal was fully implemented, it would mean a world where everyone has access to quality healthcare, no matter where you live or how much money you have, you would be able to get the healthcare you need. This means more doctors, nurses, and healthcare facilities in disadvantaged areas, and more funding to support healthcare systems in developing countries.

Preventive care would be a priority rather than waiting for people to get sick, we would focus more on preventing diseases in the first place. This would mean more investment in things like vaccination programs, observ...
