WHAT ARE THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS?
The SDGs are 17 goals agreed upon by 193 countries to realize a more sustainable and prosperous humanity and planet by 2030.
On the International Day of Women (March 8, 2018), 5th Element Group PBC sponsored the launch of The Decade Of Women at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. At that gathering, an SDG-inspired donor advised fund and a collaborative community (now called The SDG Circle) were announced to accelerate the path to achieving the UN’s Global Goals by 2030.
MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE WITH US.
We stand at a precipice of an incredible opportunity to create and deliver moonshots that will transform our future.
