GOAL OF THE MONTH
The Goal of the Month for December is SDG 16!
There can be no sustainable development without peace, and no peace without sustainable development.
Conflict, climate-fueled disasters, weak governance, and limited access to justice remain a great threat to sustainable development. But a peaceful and inclusive society is the foundation of sustainable development. There is no long-lasting peace and development without respect for human rights. All of us need to work together to reduce violence, deliver justice, combat corruption, and ensure inclusive participation at all levels.
