The 17 Sustainable Development Goals, set out by the United Nations, were agreed upon by 193 countries, in 2015. The overall intent is to make human prosperity work in parallel with the protection of the planet and to propose a global action plan for the coming years.

## What are the 17 goals of the 2030 Agenda?

There are 3 principles behind the SDGs: 

- they are universal, applying to every country, 
- they integrate all the dimensions of sustainability (economic development, social progress and environmental protection)
- they aim to leave no one behind (no goal should be considered as achieved if it is not achieved for all, including the most vulnerable and hardest to reach).

They are "a global call to action to eradicate poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all human beings live in peace and prosperity".

Here is a list of them:

1. No poverty 
2. Zero hunger 
3. Good health and well-being
4. Quality education 
5. Gender equality
6. Clean water and sanitation
7. Affordable and clean energy 
8. Decent work and economic growth
9. Industry, innovation and infrastructure
10. Reduced inequalities 
11. Sustainable cities and communities
12. Responsible consumption and production
13. Climate action
14. Life below water
15. Life on land
16. Peace, justice and strong institutions
17. Partnership for the goals“

## How Treedom contributes to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals

Treedom's tree planting activities in Asia, Africa, South America and Italy contribute to the pursuit of 11 of these goals:

1. End poverty  
With fruit trees, farmers increase harvest times and income opportunities.

2. End hunger  
Trees enhance land productivity, and fruit species enrich the diets of farmers.

4. Quality education  
Communities receive long-term training and support.

5. Gender equality  
Women actively participate in projects, gaining economic independence over time.

6. Clean water and sanitation  
Trees contribute to protecting and restoring water-related ecosystems, preventing soil erosion, and preserving wetlands.

8. Economic growth  
Farmers earn extra income through fruit sales.

10. Reduce inequalities   
Local communities acquire tools and develop necessary knowledge for a sustainable future.

12. Responsible consumption  
Projects use reclaimed materials and local resources, minimizing travel.

13. Climate Action  
Trees absorb CO₂ and help lower temperatures, improving air quality.

14. Life below water  
We plant mangroves to create natural barriers against rising oceans and provide crucial habitats for 70% of the world's fish.

15. Life on land  
Trees offer shelter and nourishment to various plant and animal species, promoting biodiversity.

17. Partnership for the goals  
Our projects involve NGOs, associations, institutional partners, and private actors in Africa, Asia, Italy, and Latin America.
