ACCA earth day

Gender equality: let me start with a story. I remember walking into an institute and a board with images of members and out of the 60-70 people I saw there was two women on there and my immediate thought was Wow, this is a man's world which is why I had decided that I want more female representation

By the way all the United Nations SDGs are important but as I had to select only three that is why i pointed three major goals. I think poverty, peace and justice and climate action are issues of great importance and should never be compromised because they are vital for prosperity and growth.

Focusing on improved work and economic growth can address many concerns for a large number of people, as well as several SDGs like 'No Poverty' and others. We should concentrate our efforts on areas with the highest return on investment (ROI), i.e. those with the greatest societal benefits.
