SDGs

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity.E_SDG_logo_No UN Emblem_horizontal_cmyk

These 17 Goals build on the successes of the Millennium Development Goals, while including new areas such as climate change, economic inequality, innovation, sustainable consumption, peace and justice, among other priorities. The goals are interconnected – often the key to success on one will involve tackling issues more commonly associated with another.

The SDGs work in the spirit of partnership and pragmatism to make the right choices now to improve life, in a sustainable way, for future generations. They provide clear guidelines and targets for all countries to adopt in accordance with their own priorities and the environmental challenges of the world at large. The SDGs are an inclusive agenda.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development specifies that “Sport is also an important enabler of sustainable development. We recognize the grow­ing contribution of sport to the realization of development and peace in its promotion of tolerance and respect and the contributions it makes to the empowerment of women and of young people, individuals and communities as well as to health, education and social inclusion objectives.”

EFDN and the Sustainable Development Goals

Sport, including football has proven to be a cost-effective and flexible tool in promoting peace and development objectives. Our work shows us on a daily basis that football has the power to change lives.

We are convinced that football is a powerful tool with the potential to tackle challenges entailed in each of the 17 SDG’s. Together with its members and partners, EFDN is aiming at working towards new milestones in CSR in football.
