Sustainable development
L’Agenda 2030 per lo Sviluppo Sostenibile è un programma d’azione per le persone, il pianeta e la prosperità. Sottoscritta il 25 settembre 2015 dai governi dei 193 Paesi membri delle Nazioni Unite, e approvata dall’Assemblea Generale dell’ONU, l’Agenda è costituita da 17 Obiettivi per lo Sviluppo Sostenibile – Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs – da raggiungere in ambito ambientale, economico, sociale e istituzionale entro il 2030.
Questo programma non risolve tutti i problemi ma rappresenta una buona base comune da cui partire per costruire un mondo diverso e dare a tutti la possibilità di vivere in un mondo sostenibile dal punto di vista ambientale, sociale, economico.
The 17 Goals refer to a set of important development issues that take into account in a balanced way the three dimensions of sustainable development – economic, social and ecological – and aim to end poverty, fight inequality, address climate change, and build peaceful societies that respect human rights. Sustainability is not a purely environmental issue.
F.lli Vitali si impegna e contribuisce agli obiettivi delle Nazioni Unite in modo particolare agli SDGs 3 – 5 – 7 – 8 – 9 – 12 – 13 – 15 – 17.
