This presentation will cover the importance of the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) to the younger generation and the impact it will have on children and youth if they don’t get completed. The talk will also cover the problems that may arise in the future if the completion of the SDGS are slow and the urgent need to accelerate the pace of the 17 SDGs to secure a brighter future for upcoming generations. Emphasizing the critical importance of swift action, the speech will highlight the interconnectedness of these goals, ranging from poverty eradication to climate action. By expediting progress in these areas, we pave the way for a sustainable and equitable world for our children, grandchildren and all those generations to come. Through collective efforts and commitment, we can ensure a prosperous future that respects both people and the planet, setting the stage for a more resilient and harmonious society.
