人類は21世紀中に何を克服すべきか

What should humankind overcome in the 21st century?

Depending on what we are, the answers may well vary, and they are all worth considering. On this point, the UN Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs, have listed many key challenges that humanity should address by 2030. Now let me explain some of them.     

The first is “eliminating poverty.” Poverty had been decreasing, but the COVID-19 pandemic has caused it to rise once again. Plus, globalization has had a negative impact. Poverty is taking away young workers from poor nations, hurting their industries and markets. This has resulted in a worldwide income gap that is growing even among developed nations such as the US.     

The next is “eradicating hunger.” The UN reports that ten percent of the global population currently lacks sufficient food, and this number is steadily increasing. This means that hunger is a significant danger to humans, especially to vulnerable individuals, such as children and women in child-rearing age.           

These are just a few examples. The SDGs includes many other challenges. Although many of them seem daunting, we must come together to overcome these problems. Thank you for your attention. [182 Words Type-G]
