What are the global goals? The global goals are made up of 17 global issues that are to be fixed by 2030. Last week my class focused on global goal #6 clean water and sanitation. This week we are focused on two global goals. In my last post I wrote about global goal #2 No Hunger and in this post i’m writing about global goal #3 Good Health and Well Being.

Good health and well being is the global goal #3. Over the past years the number of deaths from children has been cut in half. The Global Goals website says that we are “spending an astonishing amount of money and resources on treating illnesses that are easy to prevent. “  I think that its important that we look closely into what this sentence is saying. We could be preventing this from happening but we aren’t and now we have to spend a lot of money to cure that illness.

The Global Goals Website has eight targets for good health and well being! One of the targets is END ALL PREVENTABLE DEATHS UNDER 5 YEARS OF AGE. This target is important to me because it would decrease the number of deaths a year. IF you want to help this global goal go to the global goals website and learn what you can do!
