Fostering Scientific Creativity in the Context of the Sustainable Development Goals
Abstract
In 2015, the United Nations committed the world to 17-life changing goals for the purpose of accelerating and promoting global development (United Nations). Named the “Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)”, its principal objective is to end global poverty and hunger, and to promote prosperity for all by the year 2030. The SDGs provides specific recommendations for attaining progress in diverse fields, including health, education, agriculture, energy, water resources, economic growth, industry and infrastructure, land matters and climate change. On the basis of the global assessments and consensus reached at the time, it was strongly recommended that considerations be given to concomitant and covariate issues such as equality, peace and social justice, sustainable planning and partnership, which today form the basis upon which the SDGs are being implemented in many parts of the world.
