Explanation of the Challenges

Wondering how a specific challenge connects to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals? You've come to the right place!  Below, you'll find an explanation on how each of the challenges connects back to an SDG.  Additionally, you'll find some additional resources that have more information on the Sustainable Development Goals. GOAL 1- NO POVERTY  This goal aims to eradicate extreme poverty by 2030.  Extreme poverty is defined as people living on less than $1.25/ day.  Even though the global rate of poverty has been decreasing since the 1990s, 10% of the world’s population still lives in extreme poverty.  These challenges help get you involved in decreasing local poverty.  Donating your old items to a shelter or charity store can help support people in your community who need it most.  Volunteering your time can also help support people who need it.  Volunteering at a homeless shelter or to babysit will also give support to those who need it....

3 класс проблемы

  Найдите три вещи, с которыми вы готовы расстаться.  Это могут быть старые настольные игры, книги или игрушки. Отнесите их в детский сад при местном приюте для женщин и детей. Найдите у себя продукты долгого хранения (консервы) и пожертвуйте их тому, кто, как вы считаете, в них нуждается. Выберетесь на улицу!  Вы можете просто прогуляться или отправиться в небольшой поход, помедитируйте на природе или посмотрите на облака. Если вы захотели помедитировать, YouTube канал the Mindful Kids поможет вам в этом.  Опубликуйте в социальных сетях фотографию чего-то интересного, что вы заметили во время прогулки. Посетите какое-то интересное место в вашем городе и постарайтесь узнать как можно больше о нём. Если у вас нет возможности куда-то выбраться, попробуйте совершить виртуальное путешествие через интернет в один из уголков вашего города (это может быть музей, памятник, улица), расскажите своим близким об этом месте. Посмотрите на список, расположенный ниже, и распределит...
