The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a call for action by all countries to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. The SDGs are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice. The 17 Goals were adopted by all UN Member States in 2015, as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. For the 2022 Picture This competition, we’re asking you to interpret one of the eight chosen Goals below for your 30 or 60 second video.
