Become a Real-Life SUPERHERO!Join the “SDG-Hero Challenge”!﻿
Do you know what the SDGs are and who created them? Do you know until what year they run and which goals are most important for Curaçao? We challenge you to earn digital badges and prove that you’re a true ‘SDG-hero’!
﻿
Maybe you’ve come across the English acronym “SDGs” before (you pronounce it as es-dee-jees). SDG stands for “Sustainable Development Goals.” These are 17 goals aimed at making the world a better place, and they extend until 2030. These goals were agreed upon by all the countries that are part of the United Nations (UN), including Curaçao as part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
﻿
These goals were established in 2015, and everyone worldwide, even in non-UN member countries, could contribute ideas on their content. Eventually, 17 goals were chosen by the UN, focusing on peace and security, economic development, environmental protection, and the complete eradication of poverty and hunger. Each goal was given specific “targets” — a total of 169 — outlining what needs to be achieved to meet the SDGs.
﻿
The SDG's and CuraçaoCuraçao has chosen 6 SDGs to focus on:
SDG1: No Poverty
SDG3: Good Health and Well-being
SDG4: Quality Education
SDG7: Affordable and Clean Energy
SDG8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
SDG14: Life Below Water
In December 2018, Curaçao drafted a “Roadmap for SDG Implementation,” outlining these goals and what we need to do to achieve them. One of the action points in the report is the “SDG Action Week,” of which this “SDG-Hero” challenge is a part.
﻿
As a Small Island nation, the SDG's have special meaning for Curaçao. To understand why, check out this video, that was made by the UN for the opening of the SIDS conference earlier this year.

SDG 14: Protect Sea and Marine ResourcesThe United Nations stress the importance of the 14th Sustainable Development Goal, which intends to safeguard and sustainably use oceans, seas, and marine resources by 2030. 
﻿
Oceans are vital—they regulate our climate, provide food, and are home to countless species. But they face threats from pollution, overfishing, and climate change.
﻿
To protect our oceans, governments, communities, and individuals must work together. This includes reducing pollution, managing fish stocks responsibly, and protecting underwater environments. It's also important to share the benefits of ocean resources fairly and support those who rely on the sea for their livelihoods, such as fishermen.
﻿
Everyone can help by reducing plastic use, supporting sustainable fishing, and raising awareness about protecting the underwater environment.
﻿
﻿
﻿
﻿
SDG 14 in Curaçao: Curaçao has taken important steps to keep its waters safe. These efforts include creating protected areas in the ocean, setting up safe zones for marine life, and introducing fishing rules that help maintain fish populations. These actions are focused on making sure that ocean life stays healthy for future generations.
