The United Nations established 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SGD) in 2015 as a worldwide call to action to eradicate poverty, safeguard the environment, and guarantee that by 2030, all people may live peaceful and prosperous lives. The 17 SDGs are:

1. No poverty
2. Zero hunger
3. Good health and well-being
4. Quality education
5. Gender equality
6. Clean water and sanitation
7. Affordable and clean energy
8. Decent work and economic growth
9. Industry, innovation, and infrastructure
10. Reduced inequality
11. Sustainable cities and communities
12. Responsible consumption and production
13. Climate action
14. Life below water
15. Life on land
16. Peace, justice, and strong institutions
17. Partnerships for the goals

Telkom University is recognized as one of Indonesia's best educational institutions. In this article, I will compare my 3 months at Telkom University to the implementation of SGD on campus. 

Students on this campus, particularly new students, come from all throughout Indonesia. There are also students from countries other than Indonesia. Despite their diverse origins, I believe there is a strong amount of tolerance on campus. Despite their differences, many of the pupils appreciate one another. There are also multiple regional Student Activity Units (UKM), which include student organizations from all around Indonesia. That argument implies that there is very little inequality. Beside that, I've seen that both male and female lecturers teach students at Telkom University. This suggests that gender equality is being implemented rather well in this school. Telkom University also provides quality education and multiple scholarships for the students that are going to be studying on campus.

Many lecture buildings are dispersed around the Telkom University campus area. Telkom University also boasts a number of amenities available to students, including park spaces, libraries, and research laboratories. Unfortunately, several of these facilities are poorly maintained. One of these facilities is the road in front of Telkom University entrance gates. As a motorized vehicle user, I believe the road is uneven and includes potholes, which pose a risk to road users, both pedestrians and motorized vehicle users. 

Telkom University's environmental effort, in my perspective, is rather good. The welcoming campus environment promotes student learning. The water sources on this campus are, in my opinion, fairly clean. However, there are several issues that I perceive. One of them is the limited number of garbage cans on campus. Hopefully, the campus will increase the number of trash cans located throughout the campus, particularly near the parks.

Transportation is an important aspect of the Telkom University community's lives. There are several parking spots on campus for both motorized cars and bicycles. There is also a shuttle bus that students may use to travel to other lecture buildings that are pretty far away. However, because there aren't always enough buses, students may prefer to walk between buildings. Despite the fact that there are many pedestrians, there are numerous roadways that I believe are less pleasant for pedestrians to walk on.

The following three paragraphs suggest that Telkom University is making strong efforts to promote renewable energy, climate action, and sustainable towns and cities. I wish the university would take more environmental initiatives, and I wish the community would contribute by making its own efforts.
