The brief for this project is to design and create a digital product to explain the sustainable development goals. We have to create a branded digital home screen which covers at least 5 of the SDGs and is targeted to an audience of 10 year olds or undergraduate university students. As well as this, we should design for a mobile device and provide a style guide with our finished project.
Sustainable Development Goals are used with the aim to transform our world as a call to act on problems such as poverty, inequality, protecting our planet and ensuring that everyone enjoys health, justice and prosperity. ****In 2015, all the members of the United Nations helped to adopt the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, a blueprint which outlines peace and prosperity now and for the future. It was made up of 17 goals each with their own set of targets with most of them focusing on action to be taken in both developing and developed countries within the United Nation. These goals set acknowledge that to end world issues such as poverty and other deprivations, they must also create strategies to help improve healthcare, education and reduce inequalities among all as well as still tackling current issues such as climate change, deforestation and preserving our oceans.
What is different about these set of Goals compared to previous goals set out is that the vision is global rather than just focusing on the developing countries and the values are based on equity and respect for everyone's human rights. There is also now a strong emphasis on strengthening all health systems so there is a universal health care cover as well as strongly relying on scientific research, innovation, monitoring and evaluating health problems and illnesses.
Each goal has multiple specific targets are met to track the progress of the goals. It has been acknowledged though that these goals are all connected and that one goal is only achieved by addressing other issues and overcoming other challenges.
