Malte and sustainability

Teacher notes

This lesson introduces the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The UN is a global organisation of 193 member states that have made agreements and an action plan called the SDGs. These are a blueprint to end extreme poverty and inequality and protect the planet, ensuring a healthy and prosperous life for all. The goals apply to all countries and all people, everywhere.
