Yes! All so interconnected and all rooted in #compassion - a fundamental driver in establishing the SDGs and essential for achieving them. #Compassion4theSDGs
The #GlobalGoals show how the world's challenges are connected. Each goal is a strand in the intricate web of sustainable development, demonstrating that addressing and progressing one goal significantly impacts the achievement of others.

On #PeaceDay, a reminder that if lasting peace were achieved in a few key locations, global refugee figures could halve. We must work together to resolve existing conflicts, address their root causes and promote peace so that refugees can return home safely. 🕊️🌍
