SDG Goals
As an SDG Voice (youth representative) for SDG Nederland, I am actively engaged in volunteering work to promote the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) from the United Nations.
My work involves teaching at schools, where I conduct workshops and give presentations to educate young people about the importance of the SDGs and how they can contribute to a more sustainable future.
In addition to my work in the Netherlands, I went to Suriname as part of my journey to advocate for the SDGs. During my time there, I engaged with local communities, shared my knowledge through presentations, and furthered awareness about sustainability.
This journey also led me to meet the ambassador of the Dutch Embassy in Suriname to discuss about the SDGs, which was a significant moment in my advocacy work. My goal is to inspire others to take action for a better world, both locally and globally, through education and engagement.
How to Support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
Educate Yourself: Learn about the 17 SDGs and their importance for global sustainability.
Raise Awareness: Share information about the SDGs with your network through social media, blogs, or community events.
Integrate SDGs into Your Work: If you’re a professional, incorporate relevant SDGs into your organization’s strategies and practices.
Volunteer: Get involved with local or global organizations that are actively working towards achieving the SDGs.
Advocate for Policy Change: Engage with policymakers to encourage the adoption of policies that support the SDGs.
Support Sustainable Practices: Make conscious choices in your daily life, such as reducing waste, conserving energy, and supporting ethical businesses.
Collaborate: Partner with others in your community or organization to implement projects that address specific SDGs.
