The world is experiencing major global challenges in areas such as poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace, and justice. Which is why the United Nations has defined Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to combat these problems. The SDGs consist of seventeen ambitious goals that the world hopes to achieve before 2030. Unfortunately, we are not on track to achieve them. Experts in a subject matter suggest that entrepreneurship could help transform our world and overcome the diverse nature of these global challenges.
“The depth of the issues that the Sustainable Development Goals are seeking to achieve need the most catalytic and innovative engagements, these are represented by the determination and vision of social enterprises.” - Jenna Nicholas, CEO at Impact Experience
