17 Sustainable development objectives

In 2015, 193 countries signed an agreement focused on people, the planet, prosperity, peace and partnerships, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were established. Thanks to this agreement, the roadmap for sustainability to be followed by 2030 was defined: the 17 interrelated SDGs are therefore a step towards a fairer, safer and more sustainable world for people and the planet.

In Empathy we support this initiative because we are convinced of the relevance that philanthropy has in the fulfillment of the SDGs: All philanthropic projects are part of one or more SDGs.

END OF POVERTY

• Ending poverty in all its forms and throughout the world it is not easy.

Poverty must be understood not only from an economic perspective, but also from a human rights perspective. This implies that in order to eradicate poverty it is necessary not only to eliminate hunger and malnutrition, but also to ensure decent housing and access to basic services, among others.

Empatthy we want to boost inclusive economic growth by supporting the creation of sustainable jobs and adequate social protection systems and promoting equality.

ZERO HUNGER

• Eradicating hunger, achieving food security, improving nutrition and promoting sustainable agriculture are essential elements of SDG 2.

Food and agriculture are key to eradicating hunger and poverty. Properly managed, the agricultural sector can provide nutritious food to the entire population, generate a good source of income, support improved living conditions in rural areas and protect the environment.

In Empatthy we are convinced that social investments in the agricultural sector and in sustainable food production systems are essential to achieve ``zero hunger``.

WELLNESS AND HEALTH

• Achieving a healthy life and promoting well-being is one of the ambitious goals.

Few regions in the world have high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality, poor reproductive health and a high incidence of both infectious and non-communicable diseases.

In Empatthy we support health initiatives, because the improvement of health systems, sanitation and hygiene, access to medical services and the reduction of environmental pollution are essential to progress in the health and welfare of society.

• The crucial role of education in society is undeniable, and inclusive and equitable education offers people the opportunity to reach their full potential

Although access to education has improved enormously in the last decade and the minimum level of literacy is constantly increasing, not only are rates and levels of schooling not optimal, but school attendance does not always guarantee the acquisition of the basic skills to function in society.

It does not matter if philanthropy takes place in the form of scholarships, workshops, construction of schools or improvement of educational facilities.

At Empatthy we support educational projects because we are confident that someday the goal of universal quality education will become a reality.

GENDER EQUALITY

• The struggle for gender equality and the empowerment of women is an indispensable process for achieving sustainable development.

It has always happened and continues to happen today: women and girls suffer discrimination and violence anywhere in the world. The progress that has been made so far has been many, but not enough. For example, there are still 49 countries without laws to protect women in cases of domestic violence.

At Empatthy we strive for gender equality to build the foundation for a sustainable economy and a more just society.

CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION

• Ensuring access to and proper supply of water ...LEER MÁS
• Ensuring access to and proper supply of water and sanitation is essential in the world we live in.

Although the freshwater available on the planet is sufficient to supply the entire population, the distribution of this resource is not balanced. As a result, many countries, often the poorest, are affected by a drought that intensifies hunger and malnutrition. This, coupled with poor water quality and lack of sanitation, affects not only a family's livelihood, but also its opportunities for education and integration into society.

At Empatthy we join forces to facilitate access to clean water and sanitation and the equitable management of water resources.

• Access to affordable and clean energy ensures a sustainable and inclusive society while reducing the intensity of climate change.

Today, the world continues to use inefficient technologies and highly polluting fuels that intensify human impact on the ecosystem. Although the use of renewable energies is constantly increasing and the demand for energy per capital is decreasing, the access and expansion of this type of resources is limited by lack of commitment and state incentives and lack of private investment.

At Empatthy we support sustainable energy initiatives that know how important it is to promote the use of high yield renewable energy resources for both communities and the ecosystem.

DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH

• No development without jobs that offer optimal conditions for all and without inclusive and sustainable economic growth.

Progress to date remains slow and uneven. Nearly half of the world's population is forced to subsist on a wage equivalent to about US$ 2 a day and unemployment worldwide is almost 6%. Also, in some countries the growth rate has slowed and this presents a challenge to meet the targets set for 2030.

At Empatthy we are confident that change can promote sound socio-economic policies and therefore we want them to improve. In order to increase productivity, it is not only necessary to ensure not only working conditions, but also to facilitate access to employment without discrimination of any kind, to improve financial services and to promote the improvement of infrastructures, among others.

INDUSTRY, INNOVATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE

• The existence of infrastructures and the promotion of innovation and inclusive and sustainable industrialisation constitute the SDG 9.

Carbon dioxide emissions are currently too high. One of the contributors to its production are, for example, the processes of manufacturing materials for subsequent manufacture. In order to change this situation, the improvement of the technologies used is highly recommended and, without innovation this would not be possible.

In Empatthy we promote investment in industry, innovation and infrastructure, whether energy, transport or any other, because we know that it is essential to achieve sustainable development, stabilize and weight societies and ensure the resilience of cities to increasingly notorious climate change.

REDUCTION OF INEQUALITIES

• The importance of reducing inequalities not only within countries but also between countries should not be overlooked.

Although the international community continues to push for changes that bring us ever closer to poverty reduction, access to education and health services, among many others, remains very uneven. In fact, while economic inequality between countries has been reduced, within countries this inequality has increased.

At Empatthy we are convinced. That development is not properly sustained if economic growth is not inclusive or if it does not take into account the importance of social and environmental aspects other than economic ones. For this reason, we support all efforts aimed at inclusion and the improvement of current economic, social and environmental policies.

• It is essential to create inclusive, safe, adaptable and sustainable cities and communities.

In recent decades, urbanization has increased at a dizzying rate. By 2030, estimates suggest that the urban population could reach 5 billion. This, however, has certain consequences since it is not an easy task to optimize urban planning and management to ensure the inclusion, safety, adaptability and sustainability of the population. It is not easy to find the balance between the use of land and resources and the constant generation of employment: it is common to find problems such as congestion, lack of appropriate policies that directly affect access to housing and land and lack of funds with which to facilitate the provision of basic services.

In Empatthy we fight for a future with cities and communities more adapted to current and emerging needs.

Ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns is one of the most important pillars of sustainable development.

The impact of our consumption on the ecosystem and society is undeniable. The pollution of air, soil and water has reached historic levels and we need to minimise our negative impact as soon as possible.

In Empatthy we support those initiatives focused on consumer awareness and the promotion of sustainable consumption and production, hoping to gradually achieve a better quality of life and proper development globally.

• Urgent action is needed to combat climate change and its devastating effects.

Climate change has a negative impact on people's lives and on the economies of every country in the world. We are about to reach a point of no return, and therefore immediate action is needed. Otherwise, temperatures around the world will continue to rise, weather phenomena will become more extreme, and sea level will rise and, unfortunately, this will particularly harm the poorest and most vulnerable people.

At Empatthy we know how important it is to support those initiatives that are more environmentally friendly in order to facilitate the creation of more sustainable economic activities.

• It is essential to conserve and make sustainable use of the seas, oceans and marine resources.

Underwater life makes our planet habitable and we must take care of it and manage it properly before it is too late. Today, ocean pollution, overfishing and water acidification are already negatively affecting biodiversity and ecosystem functioning.

In Empatthy we want to contribute to the conservation of biodiversity and ecosystems and therefore support those programs aimed at caring for underwater life.

• Protecting, restoring and promoting the sustainable management of terrestrial ecosystems and halting both land degradation and desertification as well as biodiversity loss are the basis of SDG 15.

Forests are essential not only to maintain food security, but also to combat climate change. More than a quarter of our planet's surface is covered by forests, yet logging, fires and degradation of drylands are contributing to increasing desertification.

In Empatthy we want to promote the preservation of ecosystems and, therefore, we support those projects that promote the equitable use of resources and the conservation of biodiversity.

Although intentional homicides take place anywhere in the world, in Latin America, Africa and Asia this type of homicide is particularly frequent. In addition, human trafficking, violence against children and sexual violence are also very common internationally.

In Empatthy we want to collaborate in the construction of more inclusive and peaceful societies because we believe that only in this way will it be possible to ensure the protection of human rights.

• The importance of strengthening global partnerships to facilitate sustainable development should not be overlooked.

The cooperation of governments, the private sector and civil society lays the foundations for sustainable development because only through these alliances will it be possible to put people and the planet at the centre of any initiative.

In Empatthy we promote the creation of alliances at both national and international levels because we know how important cooperation is for the implementation of policies and the creation of efficient development programs.
