SDG 8: DECENT WORK AND SUSTAINABLE GROWTH
Economic growth must be sustainable and must not lead to further environmental and climate damage. The circular economy should be promoted. Diversification and a focus on labour-intensive and high value-added sectors shall be pursued. The economy should also provide opportunities for young people and integrate people with disabilities. Slavery and human trafficking are to be ended.
