Everyday SDGs

SDGs: the history and importance of the Sustainable Development Goals

In 2015, all 193 member countries of the United Nations adopted Agenda 2030, a global action plan to ensure prosperity, equity, and well-being for people and the planet.

At the heart of this agenda are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which address the major challenges of our time: from the fight against poverty and hunger to the protection of natural resources, education, health, gender equality, innovation, and sustainable cities.

The SDGs represent a call to collective action, involving governments, businesses, and citizens in an unprecedented process of transformation.

The Sustainable Development Goals mark a global paradigm shift: for the first time, economic development, social inclusion, and environmental protection are treated as inseparable and interconnected elements.

Each goal is associated with specific targets and indicators that allow progress to be measured, promoting transparency and accountability.

Furthermore, the universal nature of the SDGs means that every country, regardless of its level of development, is called upon to contribute actively and continuously. A virtuous example of the application of these principles is EuroHive, the new 20,000 sq m business hub created in Rome’s EUR district by Silver Fir Capital and GWM Group.

EuroHive offers flexible workspaces and cutting-edge services, is WELL Gold certified, and is designed to promote health, well-being, and environmental sustainability, directly responding to several of the 2030 Agenda goals. It is a workplace that demonstrates how the world of work can be a driver of positive change, contributing in a concrete way to the achievement of the SDGs.
