The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. The UN site reads: “They address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate, environmental degradation, prosperity, and peace and justice. The Goals interconnect and in order to leave no one behind, it is important that we achieve each Goal and target by 2030.”

On this #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration which kicks off the charitable season, perhaps focus your holiday and end-of-year giving by keeping the UN goals in sight and helping to make the world a better place by giving back to the planet you live on.
