• Goal 4:
  • It guarantees the quality of education.
  • It is the education goal. It aims to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
• Goal 8:
  • It assures decent work and economic growth.
  • It promotes sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all.
• Goal 2:
  • It guarantees zero hunger.

• Goal 12:
  • It assures responsible consumption and production.
  • It ensures that people everywhere have the relevant information and awareness for sustainable development and lifestyles in harmony with nature.
  • Sustainable consumption and production are about promoting resource and energy efficiency, sustainable infrastructure, and providing access to basic services, green and decent jobs, and a better quality of life for all.
