The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries – developed and developing – in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.
The SDGs build on decades of work by countries and the UN, including the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs
On the day of my arrival in Tashkent (October 24), luckily, it was raining and the weather was very clean. But when the rain stopped, I felt that the air was really dirty and difficult to breathe. Due to the large number of private cars and the toxic smoke they emit, the air in the city is getting worse than normal. These are the causes of air pollution in Tashkent. It is necessary to find a solution.
