For some people, experiencing hunger is the weird feeling you get after skipping a meal or forgetting to eat breakfast. For others, it is the horrible reality you have to live through every single day.
Goal #2 aims to end hunger all around the world, tackling issues like malnutrition (when you don’t have enough to eat) and agricultural productivity (helping farmers). With stories from young people around the world, we are here to help you understand and act on this extremely important goal!

Sustainable Development Goal 9: Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure (CanopyLAB)

Goal 9: Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure covers a wide range of topics that encompass us.

At the same time, industry and infrastructure are the some of the main sources of CO2 emissions in the world, not to mention their contribution to social and economic inequality. In this course, you will learn about how industry, innovation, and infrastructure impact individuals, businesses and societies. From there, we will explore how the industry, innovation and infrastructure of the future can be re-imagined and re-designed so that they contribute to economic development while also reduce inequality and protect the environment.

Quality education encompasses a range of issues: from ensuring primary and secondary education, literacy and numeracy for all, to fighting discrimination and other societal issues that prevent people from receiving education, and many more. We take a special focus on girls' and women's rights to education and examine the layers of obstacles that females may face when it comes to overcoming poverty, violence, and stereotypes in order to receive the education that they are entitled to. Undeterred by the challenges, many female figures and organizations advocating for education and women's' rights have made amazing achievements in advancing their own education and that of females around the world. Part of this course is dedicated to telling their stories and inspiring you to take action to advance Goal 4.
