Veronica Wong: The world that we live in is increasingly globally connected, and the issues that we face, the challenges in the world are not faced in isolation. Issues that are affecting Australia, like climate change, they are affecting other countries, inflation, economic pressures, they're affecting other countries as well. The SDGs or the Sustainable Development Goals are a great structured framework for us to understand what these issues are, especially how they're interconnected because none of them stand alone.
Aaron Ngan: Prior to the SDGs being created like you would have, it would have been difficult to find people to disagree that, you know, poverty is an issue, education is an issue, and all of these things individually on there is an issue. But what the SDGs provide is a level of rigor, a level of focus that allows everyone to kind of get on board with, wow, this is something which is important and a large part of the world agrees on.
Veronica Wong: And help any member of the community learn how they can try and use them and leverage them to make a difference.
Vedant Patkar: And then they can make personal choices. They can also inform others of what they can do to improve their own condition and also benefit the bigger world around them.
Aaron Ngan: When we can start to pull together the minds and the ideas of a large group of people in that way, with that focus, that's really going to be what it takes.
