The Global Goals are a phenomenal idea. They're what happened when the UN came together and said: "Here are the world's biggest problems, and here is how we're going to measure progress on them." The 17 goals include promises to end extreme poverty and hunger, fix climate change and education, and reduce inequality and corruption.
This year is the midpoint between the start of the goals, in 2016, and 2030, when they're supposed to be accomplished -- and while the goals have done a great deal of good, the world is falling short on nearly all of them. This is the perfect time to assess the Global Goals (also known as the Sustainable Development Goals), recognise what's working, admit what isn't working, and refine our approach so we can do the most good for the people most in need.
