Aligning with the Global Goals
Making a Meaningful Contribution
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) or ‘global goals’ are a set of 17 goals that provide a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face as a society, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice. Agreed in 2015 by UN member states, the goals provide a global ‘to do’ list for action on social, environmental and economic issues.
Screen Ireland assessed its impact on the UN SDGs, and identified six goals that we can make a meaningful contribution to, and that are aligned with our sustainability ambitions. These are: climate action, responsible consumption and production, good heath and well-being, gender equality, reduced inequalities, decent work and economic growth.
Through implementing our Sustainability Plan and reporting on our progress over the coming years we aim to demonstrate how our actions, and those of the screen industry, support these goals.
