For 17 days, we will be sharing a glimpse into how the fashion and space industries engage with each of the 17 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) put forward by the United Nations.
In this sixteenth of the series, we examine goal number 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
Strong institutions, trustworthy and courageous, are essential to a peaceful and just future. It takes time for a foundation of trust to be built within a community, and so it is important that we all work hard to support those that will carry us into that future. In every community, there are important voices who not only have the ear of their peers, family, friends, and colleagues, but they have the influence to effect change. Through strong institutions, these voices can represent their communities at an ever-growing scale.
While these lists aren’t comprehensive, the goal is to demonstrate the potential impact through shared efforts between the two industries, in addition to their potential impact independently. We would love to hear from you in the comments about other areas or opportunities you see or are working on.
