I feel like a fraud. That’s all I keep thinking. How can I transition from Level 4 to Level 5, when I feel like I haven’t even finished the year?

SDG Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities

According to the United Nations (UN) income inequality between countries has decreased, however inequality within countries has risen.

Inequality harms growth and poverty reduction, as well as the happiness and self-worth of individuals.

However, by 2030 the UN hope to promote economic, social and political inclusion of all, irrespective of any other factors.

SDG Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy

Access to energy is essential to be able to operate basic daily routines, whether it’s going to work, cooking dinner or taking a shower.

However, energy accounts for around 60% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Which means energy is the main cause of climate change.

SDG Goal 4: Quality Education

The United Nations have reported that the key to a sustainable future and improving people’s lives is quality education for all.

Tremendously, equality between girls and boys in primary education has been accomplished worldwide.

Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being

According to the United Nations more than six million children die before their fifth birthday every year around the world. There is a higher chance that children who are born into poverty are more likely to die before they are five, than those from wealthier backgrounds. However, in England it’s mental health problems that are rapidly increasing and ruining peoples lives.

SDG Goal 2: Zero Hunger

There are 815 million undernourished people in the world today, which is one in nine. An extra two billion will be added to this figure by 2050 if a change to the global food and agriculture system doesn’t happen.
