In 2015, 193 countries pledged to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to "meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs..."

The mandate of the SDGs are shaped by transformation, ambition, and inclusion. The SDGs call for systematic changes: to safeguard our planet; make societies more inclusive; make our economy more sustainable, and address social inequality.

We believe that young people are the ideal agents to be at the forefront of the sustainable development movement: they are forward-thinking, creative, and come in large numbers. Young people make up nearly half the world's population, the biggest generation we are yet to see - they are the most educated, charitable, and entrepreneurial amongst other age groups.
SDSN Youth is born to place young people at the forefront of achieving the SDGs.

Prince William interviews David Attenborough at Davos 2019

Something that really stood out to me was how bad the current situation has gotten and how bad it will get if we don't start making a difference now. I remember that he mentioned how by 2050 we could lose up to a million plants and animals and that really scared me.

# data[].attributes.body
That the first step the youth should take is to ask hard questions. I feel as though we are so eager to do the 'how' but not focus on 'what and why'; we have the passion and determination, but not exactly a goal (if that makes any sense:))

# data[].attributes.body
Something that stood out to me form Sam Loni's  presentation was how much hope he had in the younger generation's, and how he highlighted all the change that we could make. One person can make a difference, they just need to be determined and have to have set down a plan.

# data[].attributes.body
Something that stood out the most for me in Sam Loni's presentation was the emphasis on how we as a younger generation can make change. That was definitely something very inspiring because this climate crisis is something that we all need to work towards solving as the future of the world.

# data[].attributes.body
one thing that stood out to me from Sam Loni's presentation was his outlook on the youth for bringing about change in the world.

# data[].attributes.body
one thing that stood out the most from sam loni's presentation was the multiple impacts the pandemic made on areas like, the environment, the economy, the government, societies, education.

# data[].attributes.body
The way he talked about taking inspiration from many young activists and giving an insight on what they have done to solve certain issues.

# data[].attributes.body
Despite the tiny duration humans have existed on this planet, we have had an enormous impact (both positive and negative) on it that is impossible to ignore.

# data[].attributes.body
Even though we have been here for less than most animals, we have changed more things than other animals combined. ( I remember I watched a video on youtube about a person's message about the world)

# data[].attributes.body
He spoke of the covid - 19 crisis and the effects it has had on us. Since countries are under lockdown we cant use vehicles as much therefore the consentration of pollutants in the air would be reduced which will have a positive impact on our enviroment.

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked how he spoke about both setbacks and the benefit this pandemic has got us. COVID-19 has affected our lives yet the environment seems to have benefitted in terms of pollution. In addition to that he gave a great talk on how we students can too make a change.

Goals are a driving force in my own personal life, whether its at school or for my own habits. I think whats as important as having goals is a proper plan/approach. I think the problem with politicians or people with power in general, is that they use their 'goals' as bait but don't end up coming through with their promises since they never had a plan.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that goals are very important, they break one big objective into much smaller parts, making it easier to achieve the bigger objective. I think goals are important to decision makers because they also help you understand what needs to be done. And the problem with the SDG's for the polititians and business' because in the world of today they are focused on money and economy, not on the earth.

# data[].attributes.body
Goals and objectives play significant roles in all areas of life. They give you both a long-term and short-term vision and make a plan of action

# data[].attributes.body
I think that goals are extremely crucial if we want change to actually happen. Without a set target, we will never know what we are working towards.

# data[].attributes.body
I think goals are really important for many reasons. Some of them being to measure success, set objectives and make strategies. Setting a goal makes you think about your ideals and motivates you. Policies especially the ones for environment need representatives from around the world. An ideal of one country is not the same as the others. These goals are important because they set a standard, an objective.

# data[].attributes.body
I think goals are very important as they are one of the key drivers to bringing about change as it is gives clarity. I think it is very important for our decision makers as it will help give direction to our communities so that we can bring the change we want to our communities.

# data[].attributes.body
Goals are very important and they can provide a path to achieve what one wants. They give a direction to the decision makers in order to work towards a particular objective.

# data[].attributes.body
Goals are very imporant to our lives since they give us checkpoints in our lives essentially goal norrow down our path and make decistion making easier because your priorites would be clear.

# data[].attributes.body
goals play a vital role in my life and allow me to be focused and clear off tasks and works.  decision making and goal setting go together as, when goals are set too high, you are asking for failure.

When we know we have the resources to help out, but people usually only act when it affects them

# data[].attributes.body
When there is a global crisis it is usually common knowledge and we are aware of the causes and the effect of said crisis. When you are aware of the long term effects of a problem you have a social responsibilty to act. At the end of the day enshuring the survival of the human race should be our end goal.

# data[].attributes.body
We know we have to act when we have evidence and knowledge that there is something wrong, that there is a problem in need of our help. The problem would be HOW we need to act, because we would need different resources and help, and we still don't have all of that knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
The need to act starts from the moment you have enough knowledge to know there is a problem.

# data[].attributes.body
exercise environmental awareness by practicing personal habits (e.g. shorter showers, using reusable containers, etc.). We can also use platforms to be vocal and spread awareness, but make sure it isn't performative or incorrect (counters the purpose). If not confident to start a movement, participate in volunteer work.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like the simplest thing we could do is educate ourselves on the situation as then we talk and communicate with others these views can spread an everyone would become more conscious and influence their decisions.

# data[].attributes.body
Chosing the right target audience and spreading awareness would be the  best way to act. our generation "Gen - z" has had a technological advantage, therefore, we are naturally aware of whats going on right now and gen - z is more prone to act on social and  environmental issues.  An good example would be Mr. Beast he is a youtuber who started  team tree's and uing his youtube channel that campaing was able to raise millions for planting trees.

-changing habits, adopting environment friendly products
-activism, spreading awareness, educating the ones around you
-making policies (government)
-businesses changing strategies to use existing resources efficiently and minimising their emissions and waste

# data[].attributes.body
We should reduce our production of plastic hugely, and reduce the use of one use plstic in our lives.

# data[].attributes.body
Spread more awareness about the issues going on . We can reduce the production and use of plastic in our lives . We should use more biodegradable materials and increadsing the rates of recycling.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that acting on the small things is what will help bring about a large change, and I think that also pressing on our communities to also make these small changes is what will also help bring about a larger change.

# data[].attributes.body
Being a more ethical and aware consumer. Ethical shopping can make various forms, more small like ethical products, be they fair trade, organic or cruelty free.

# data[].attributes.body
acting ethically would be to consider all the parties involved in decision making. to be aware of the good or possibly bad as well, of actions. being more specific, actions should be taken to achieve goals and not to fulfil secret agendas

# data[].attributes.body
Acting ethically would be considering all the consequences that action you take might have and whether the overall effect would be positive or negative.

# data[].attributes.body
To act ethically, would be to do something that is morally right. This means to think about the consequences by your actions.

# data[].attributes.body
One way of acting ethically is being an ethical shopper. As consumers we have the power to change the supply change of companies because they are based on demand. When we as a mass demand for environmentally ethical products and services, change is brought in

# data[].attributes.body
I think 'to act ethically' means to be fair to everyone as well as yourself but the meaning of ethics and being 'fair' is subjective.

# data[].attributes.body
To me acting ethically is thinking of the effects of every action i would take if the effect is negative i would try and avoid that action if its positive i would do that action more.

# data[].attributes.body
when you do something ethically you do it in an honest and principled way. ZNn

# data[].attributes.body
Acting ethically means seriously considering the consequences of your actions before committing them. It is not an easy thing to do, especially when many of our modern conveniences are produced unethically (e.g. fast fashion), but I believe that recognising where things come from and who made them is an important first step towards acting ethically.

# data[].attributes.body
I think to act ethically means to be aware of all the possible solutions and outcomes of what you're doing, and being aware of everyone around you. Treating everyone with you respectfully.

# data[].attributes.body
Acting ethically is to keep in mind the best interests of all of those around ourselves and act accordingly.

# data[].attributes.body
I think acting ethically is basically just considering and looking into our actions and their implications on not just the environment but also others and the things around you.
