What are the Sustainable Development Goals?

 

SDG Pyramid is a 3-tier representation of the UN 17 sustainable development goals, where SDG 1-10 represent People issues; SDG 11-15 represent Ecological issues; and SDG 16-17 resonate with Spiritual values. This formation is derived from the Balinese philosophy Tri Hita Karana – Three Ways to Happiness – which emphasises the harmony of people with people, people with nature and people with the spiritual. It is also aligned with other ancient cultures and spiritual philosophies with Balinese Hindu, Islam, Chinese, Greek.
