Are there really opportunities in our world? In our country?

Are we really prepared to take advantage of the opportunities when they come?

Are opportunities a one-off occurrence or they come and go?

Are some people lucky? Unfortunate? Or occurrences are simply an act of coincidence?

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), officially known as Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a set of seventeen aspirational “global goals” with 169 targets between them. The SDGs were in large measure informed by the oft quoted assertion by the current United Nations Secretary General that “ there can be no Plan B, because there is no Planet B”.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainable_Development_Goals

Sustainable development is defined as a process of meeting human development goals while sustaining the ability of natural systems to continue to provide the natural resources and ecosystem services upon which the economy and society depends.Sustainable development is the organizing principle for sustaining finite resources necessary to provide for the needs of future generations of life on the planet. It is a process that envisions a desirable future state for human societies in which living conditions and resource-use continue to meet human needs without undermining the "integrity, stability and beauty" of natural biotic systems.
