SDG 9: Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation by 2030
WHY IT MATTERS
Functioning and resilient infrastructure is the foundation of a successful community. However, not everyone has access to transport, information and communication technologies, sanitation, electrical power or water. Economic growth, social development and climate action are heavily dependent on investments in infrastructure, industrial development and technological progress. This will bring prosperity, create jobs and make sure that we build stable and prosperous societies across the globe.

What Can I Do?Buy fair-trade and other ethically sourced products where people are offered decent prices for their produce and labour. Volunteer in a skill-sharing programme within your college or community e.g. computer skills, building a resume, preparing for job interviews. Campaign for international solutions for peace. Violent conflicts and social upheaval are one of the main drivers of poverty. Food waste is linked to global poverty as consumers increase the demand for food by causing prices to rise and make food less affordable for others. Write to your local TD’s, and ask them to make sure Ireland continues to work towards achieving an end to world poverty.
