The Global Goals
What Are the Sustainable Development Goals?
On September 25th 2015, 193 world leaders committed to 17 Global Goals to achieve 3 extraordinary things in the next 15 years. End extreme poverty. Fight inequality & injustice. Fix climate change. The Global Goals for sustainable development could get these things done. In all countries. For all people.
If the goals are going to work, everyone needs to know about them. You can't fight for your rights if you don't know what they are. You can't convince world leaders to do what needs to be done if you don't know what you're convincing them to do. If the goals are famous, they won't be forgotten.
We can be the first generation to end extreme poverty, the most determined generation in history to end injustice and inequality, and the last generation to be threatened by climate change.

CHED, DOST Advance Unified Pathway for Sustainable Development at SDG Action Summit
The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) convened the SDG Action Summit: Higher Education, Science, and Technology at the SMX Convention Center Clark, bringing together leaders from government, academia, and industry to strengthen collaboration toward achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Under the theme “Towards a Unified Higher Education Pathway for Achieving the SDGs,” the summit provided a platform for multi-sectoral dialogue and cooperation to drive innovation-led growth and national development.
Key initiatives were unveiled, including the MOU signing between CHED and DOST-PCAARRD for the Technology Business Incubation Program, and the introduction of PHITEST (Philippine Technology Evaluation and Standards for Testing) aimed at boosting the global competitiveness of Filipino innovations.
“The Philippines already has the institutions, the talent, and the knowledge base necessary to accelerate progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals. What we must do now is align them more deliberately and mobilize them strategically.”
“Science thrives on collaboration — through partnerships with research institutions, universities, international organizations, local government units, and the private sector, the Philippines ensures that scientific discoveries become tools for national and global impact.”
