And finally. In 2015 the world set a new sustainable development agenda, pledging within the United Nations (UN) to achieve 17 development goals by 2030: The Sustainable Development Goals (also known as The Global Goals). Ranging from eradicating poverty, to ensuring clean energy for all, to reaching sustainable levels of consumption, the array of targets across these goals were selected to drive our efforts in the 15 years up to 2030.  The website ‘Our World in Data’ is tracking progress. What a great idea.

Whatever you’re up to this weekend, I hope it’s a good one.

Warm regards
