In my post last year I introduced the topic of the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These goals are a call for action by all countries to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. They recognise that ending poverty must go hand-in-hand with strategies that build economic growth and address a range of social needs, including education, health, social protection, and job opportunities, while tackling climate change and environmental protection.
At AMP Capital we’re thinking about the SDGs and how the investment that we are doing is impacting on SDG outcomes. While we don’t have specific SDG targets, in this follow-up post I look at two key SDGs and how some of the initiatives we are taking impact on these goals.
