The Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations represent a powerful set of tools, measures, and steps to enact global change and better the world for everyone. In practice, we are far from achieving the milestones set in the 17 SDGs, and many people, regardless of age, do not even know about them. This lesson aims not only to inform but also to raise awareness among young people about what they can personally contribute within the scope of the SDGs.
Ireland's coastal waters are home to one of the largest marine biodiversity in Europe. This includes a remarkable variety of marine life, from whales and dolphins to cold-water corals. Smerwick Harbour, for instance, is known as a biodiversity hotspot, where scientists have discovered an extraordinary variety of marine species. This biological richness is not only scientifically fascinating but also highlights the importance of marine conservation in the era of climate change.
