Many of these goals sound great in theory - how they are implemented is the question. Public health advocates like myself may readily believe in the idea of a greater good to be achieved. However, the record of the United Nations and some non-governmental agencies have not been safe for children or women (sex trafficking of local children or women) and the offenders are not always stopped.
Great sounding goals may help raise funds that are then used in nefarious ways in addition to the public actions of UN Peacekeepers - a UN peace keeping force - and sometimes a sex trafficking force? That is not peace for women and children.
It is important to remain aware of what is being said publicly, and what is covered up. It can help reveal more accurately what the true motives may be. Increased control may be a goal. Easy access to poor children for malicious reasons may also be a goal. That is not peace, nor the greater good.

Climate change and Sustainable development Resources
Climate change involves the air, the soil, and the oceans and ground water. CO2 and greenhouse gases affect the air and ocean acidity. Agricultural chemicals runoff into coastal waters and leads to reduced oxygen and more acidity or other pollutants or human infections which can affect marine life. Plastic waste is also increasing, in marine life, ocean waters and our diet. More on that topic is in the blogpost Health and fertility - teamwork..

Germany may be leading the globe in making nature part of urban landscapes (Germany's Green Cities) which seems to help the environment. More green areas even in the form of parking lot flower beds increases ground water recovery and helps prevent flooding in severe storms which are more likely to occur as the climate changes. More drought in some areas and worse rain or snow storms in other areas is likely.
The world is our home, many people are working to help protect it around the globe.
