Gift of Bread's Alignment with UN Sustainable Development Goals
As a public benevolent institution we are proud to be contributing to Australia’s efforts to achieve the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) by 2030.
SDG's are a collection of 17 global objectives adopted by the United Nations (UN) in 2015 to eradicate poverty, protect the planet and build a peaceful and prosperous world.
The Sustainable Development Goals are a call for action by all countries – poor, rich and middle-income – to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. They recognize that ending poverty must go hand-in-hand with strategies that build economic growth and address a range of social needs including education, health, social protection, and job opportunities, while tackling climate change and environmental protection. More important than ever, the goals provide a critical framework for COVID-19 recovery.
