Top environmental and social topics among consumers through the prism of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals
The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals 17 areas where life could be improved for many of the world’s citizens. Only some are related to sustainability and many are more focused on age-old concerns about poverty, hunger, work and education.
All of them are important. Quality education is the top SDG among our sample ranked as one of the top five by 56% of our respondents. Clean water and sanitation is the second most important concern at 54%, but poverty, work, hunger, health all score higher than the next SDG that deals with sustainability issues.
There was near unanimity on the importance of both top issues across the region, but Ecuador and Peru ranked education even higher at 63%.
