Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a set of seventeen aspirational global goals that envisage a world transformed from today where poverty and gender inequality no longer exist; where good healthcare and education are available for all; and where economic growth no longer harms the environment. The ambition is huge and every country in the world falls short on more than half of the 17 SDGs. As the agenda gains momentum, finding ways to activate change is at the core of success. It is in this context that home economics has the potential to make a contribution. This paper presents an exploration of the role of home economics to accelerate progress towards achieving selected SDGs by 2030.
