In 2018, an estimated 6.2 million children and adolescents under the age of 15 died, most of them from preventable causes. Nutrition-related factors are responsible for 45% of deaths among children under age 5 in Africa. Maternal mortality in developing regions remains 14 times higher than in developed regions.

In all corners of the globe, adolescent girls and young women face gender-based inequalities, exclusion, discrimination and violence that put them at increased risk of HIV infection.

Ensuring healthy lives and promoting the well-being of all people of all ages is also an important part of sustainable development.

Projections show that more than 200 million children will be out of school by 2030, and only 60 percent of young people will have completed high school.

In 2016, some 750 million adults - two-thirds of whom are women - remain illiterate. Half of the world's illiterate population lives in South Asia and a quarter in sub-Saharan Africa.

Access to quality education is fundamental to improving people's lives and to sustainable development.

One in three women will have experienced psychological or physical gender inequality.

In 18 countries worldwide, husbands can legally prevent their wives from working; in 39 countries, daughters and sons do not have equal inheritance rights; and in 49 countries, there are no laws to protect women from domestic violence.

Despite the important gains women have made in political office around the world, their representation in national parliaments is still far from equal at 23.7 percent.

Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world.

More than 80% of the wastewater we produce is discharged into rivers and oceans without any contamination. In addition to the impact on sea life, nearly 1,000 children die every day from diarrhea caused by sewage and lack of sanitation.

Water shortages affect more than 40% of the world's population and are expected to increase.

Clean, accessible water is an essential component of our ideal world.

Thirteen percent of the world's population still does not have access to modern electricity.

Three billion people still rely on wood, coal, charcoal or animal waste to cook and heat their homes.
But energy is also a major contributor to climate change, accounting for about 60 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Energy is a major challenge and opportunity in almost every sense of the word.

According to 2016 statistics, 61 percent of workers worldwide are in informal employment.

And in 40 countries, men earn significantly more than women by 12.5%.

Despite the increasing share of women working outside the home, women still do 2.6 times more unpaid care and household work than men.

One in five young people still have problems with lack of education and finding a job.

Sustainable economic growth will require society to create the conditions for people to have good quality jobs.

Sixteen percent of the world's population still does not have access to mobile networks.

There is a lot of room for growth in developing countries, with great potential for industrialization of agricultural products as well as textiles and apparel, with good prospects for continued job creation and productivity gains.

Investing in infrastructure is one of the most important factors in achieving sustainable development.

Deaths from disease, gender disparities, disability benefits, and pay disparities are all part of the discussion.
Mortality rates for young children and pregnant women are much higher in developing countries than in many countries.
One of the problems of income inequality between men and women also stems from inequality within the family.
Only 28% of people with severe disabilities receive disability benefits globally, compared to only 1% of people in low-income countries.

The income of the poorest 40% of the population is another 25% below the global average.

To reduce inequality, policies should be universal in principle, focusing on the needs of vulnerable and marginalized populations.

Currently only half of the population lives in urban areas, and it is estimated that 70% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050.

The world's cities occupy only 3% of the earth's land, but account for 60-80% of energy consumption and 75% of carbon emissions.

Rapid urbanization is putting pressure on fresh water supplies, sewage, the living environment and public health.

Nine out of 10 residents are breathing polluted air, and to achieve sustainable cities, we can start by commuting to cities more often by public transportation, bicycling or walking.

According to the latest projections, the global population could grow to about 8.5 billion by 2030 and to 9.7 billion by 2050. If we do not change our lifestyle, we may need three of the earth's natural resources to maintain our current lifestyle.

Water resources, energy resources, food resources, climate change and other issues are all part of the discussion.

In addition to the obligation to conserve resources and recycle, responsible production and consumption are also issues we need to address.

For every 1 degree increase in temperature, food production decreases by about 5%. (The problem will be more severe in developing countries)

Warmer oceans, less ice, and rising sea levels. Arctic ice is melting 1.07 million square kilometers per decade

Since 1990, global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions have increased by nearly 50%.

Climate change is not like a cancer that can be felt rapidly, but it is like a terrible chronic disease that is slowly changing the environment.

Climate change is a global challenge that affects every living thing around the world. It is everyone's responsibility to slowly change their habits from now on.

The oceans cover three-quarters of the Earth's surface and contain 97% of the planet's water.

The ocean absorbs about 30 percent of human-generated carbon dioxide emissions, leading to ocean warming, acidification and oxygen loss.

The ocean also absorbs more than 90% of the excess heat in the climate system, resulting in widespread ocean heat waves.

About 80% of pollution comes from land-based sources, including agricultural runoff, pesticides, plastics, and untreated sewage.

(The world buys a million plastic beverage bottles every minute; 5 trillion single-use plastic bags are used each year, most of which also end up in the ocean.)

Valuing and conserving the ocean ecosystem is a key to a sustainable future.

Corruption, bribery, theft and tax evasion cost developing countries approximately US$1.26 trillion annually.

The rule of law and development have an important interrelationship, complementing each other, and are therefore essential to sustainable development at the national and international levels.

In addition to the general crime problem, the issue of child violence is also worth exploring.

Access to justice for all and the establishment of effective and accountable institutions at all levels.

Although EMORA cannot do all of these goals on its own, we are working hard to move the brand in these six directions, and any decision we make will be:

• Goal 5: Achieve Gender Equality and Empower Women
• Goal 8: Promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, so that everyone has a good job
• Goal 12: Promote a green economy and ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
• Goal 13: Complete mitigation and adaptation actions to address climate change and its impacts
• Goal 14: Conserve the marine ecosystem to ensure biodiversity and prevent degradation of the marine environment.
• Goal 17: Build diverse partnerships to promote a sustainable vision
