Thông tin chi tiết

Tóm tắt :

7 p. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to transform our world. They are a call to action to end poverty and inequality, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy health, justice and prosperity. It is critical that no one is left behind. In 2015, all the countries in the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It sets out 17 Goals, which include 169 targets. These wide-ranging and ambitious Goals interconnect. SDG 3 is to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. It has 13 targets measured through 26 indicators. However, a person’s health and well-being are affected not only by disease and treatment, but also by social and economic factors such as housing, poverty and education. Health targets can therefore also be found across the other SDGs. The improper management of hazardous chemicals and waste can lead to acute and chronic effects on health, for both present and future generations. Exposure to toxic environmental agents occurs via air, water and food, but also through consumer products and at work. Children and pregnant women are particularly vulnerable, and yet one third of European countries have no strategies in place to protect vulnerable population groups from the negative impacts of chemicals. This fact sheet includes facts and figures, outlines the challenges, charts indicators of progress and shares commitments made by Member States to tackle this issue.
