As part of the United Nations 2030 Agenda, the U.N. General Assembly has set forth the 17 global sustainable development goals (SDGs) to address poverty, hunger, health, education, gender equality, clean water, clean energy, economic growth, industry, inequality, cities, production, climate change, oceans, land, justice and partnerships.
It’s estimated that achieving the SDGs would require $2–3 trillion per year for the next 15 years. Ironically, the global cost of corruption is at least $2.6 trillion, or 5% of the global GDP. The World Bank estimates $1 trillion in bribes every year. Those annual figures closely match the capital needed to achieve the SDGs.
