Sustainable development

In the broader context of sustainable development, we refer to the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This presents a challenge to many governments. Agenda 2030 represents an integrated approach to the various facets of sustainable development, with no fewer than 17 goals and 169 sub-goals put forward.

If we achieve these goals, poverty will be ended, the planet will be protected, and all people will experience peace and well-being. After all, Agenda 2030 is about People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace and Partnership.

Gammol is a small organisation with limited resources. Nevertheless, we also strive to contribute to some of these goals for sustainable development through the activities we undertake.
