Do you know what day March 17 is every year?

Since 2020, it has been designated in Japan as “SDGs Day for Everyone to Think Together.”

The SDGs are 17 goals to be achieved by 2030, known in Japanese as the “Sustainable Development Goals.”

Right now, due to issues such as extreme weather, poverty, and infectious diseases, humanity is facing a crisis that could make it difficult to continue living on Earth.

Experts from various countries discussed these issues and decided on 17 goals.

So this time, we’ve prepared a three-choice SDGs quiz for older adults!
