Are you already familiar with the Sustainable Development Goals? These are sustainable development goals drawn up by the UN to make the world a better place. 17 goals in total agreed upon by the countries affiliated with the UN. Including the Netherlands. They are a global compass for challenges such as poverty, education and the climate crisis.
When you travel, you can also opt for more conscious choices. This way you lower your footprint and also contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals. For example, if you choose a regional product on the menu, you are already contributing to Goal 12 Responsible Consumption. And if you choose a place to sleep that has solar panels and heatpipes, you are contributing to Goal 7 Sustainable Energy. Read more about these goals here.
