Life Below Water will have a significant impact on the environment but Reduced Inequalities will have a greater overall impact because it will affect both the economy and society. Over fishing and pollution are two major challenges that Life Below Water will help address. However, inequality is one of the major challenges facing the world. While inequalities exist we will not live in a fair or just world. Reduced Inequalities will give more people access to better education which will mean they can contribute more to the economy and will also help make society itself better. However, it is important to note that all of the goals need to be met if the SDGs are going to be successful and lead to a fairer, more prosperous, cleaner world.
