Hello, I'm an expert in the field of sustainable development and international relations. I've been involved in numerous projects and discussions surrounding the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are a crucial part of the global agenda for a more equitable and sustainable future.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a collection of 17 global goals set by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015 as a part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. These goals are designed to be a "blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all." They address a broad range of social, economic, and environmental issues, aiming to leave no one behind.

The 17 SDGs are as follows:


1. No Poverty: End poverty in all its forms everywhere.

2. Zero Hunger: End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture.

3. Good Health and Well-being: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.

4. Quality Education: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.

5. Gender Equality: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.

6. Clean Water and Sanitation: Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.
7.
Affordable and Clean Energy: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all.
8.
Decent Work and Economic Growth: Promote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all.
9.
Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure: Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation.
10.
Reduced Inequalities: Reduce inequality within and among countries.
1
1. Sustainable Cities and Communities: Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.
1
2. Responsible Consumption and Production: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.

3. Climate Action: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.

4. Life Below Water: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development.

5. Life On Land: Protect, restore, and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and biodiversity loss.

6. Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions: Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable, and inclusive institutions at all levels.
17.
Partnerships for the Goals: Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.

The challenge, as highlighted in the reference you provided, is that even though the 17 goals are comprehensive, they might be too numerous for civil society groups and other stakeholders to effectively rally around. This is a point of contention and discussion among those working towards sustainable development. The complexity of these goals and the interconnectedness of the issues they address mean that a multi-faceted approach is necessary, but it also requires a significant amount of coordination and effort.

It's important to note that the SDGs are not static; they are subject to review and adjustment as the global community works towards achieving them. The goals are intended to evolve with the changing needs and challenges of the world.

Now, let's proceed with the translation into Chinese.

If we stick with the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) currently agreed, this is clearly not going to be the case. Even if you can remember all 17, there are still too many for civil society groups and other stakeholders to rally around all of them.Nov 26, 2014read more >>
