Zero Exclusion If social capital is strengthened and all individuals, including the most vulnerable, co-create governance systems that meet their needs, then societies will enable all individuals to exercise their rights. Zero Carbon If ecosystems are resilient, citizens drive environmental protection, infrastructure supports sustainable resource use, and economic systems are responsible, then future generations will inherit a healthy planet. Education and Empowerment of Girls If girls are enrolled and retained in school, supported through life skills education, and barriers are removed, then they will avoid early marriage, child labor, and trafficking, and grow into empowered individuals.
