ITPEC IP October 2023 Question 100
Which of the following is the most appropriate term that refers to the goals for development that must be achieved by 2030 adopted by the United Nations in order to achieve a sustainable world?
Explanation
SDGs — the Sustainable Development Goals, the goals the United Nations set to achieve a sustainable world by 2030.
The SDGs were adopted by the UN in 2015 as the core of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The 17 goals, broken into 169 targets, cover poverty, hunger, health, education, gender equality, clean energy, decent work, climate action, peace and partnerships, and companies increasingly take them up as part of CSR and their business.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- •(b) SDK — software development kit, the libraries, tools and documentation for developing software for a platform
- •(c) SGA — selling, general and administrative expenses, the costs of sales and company administration in an income statement
- •(d) SGML — Standard Generalized Markup Language, the ISO language for defining markup, from which HTML and XML derive
Key rule: 17 goals under the UN's 2030 Agenda are the SDGs; look-alike abbreviations such as SDK and SGML come from software and documents.
