Superhero U: Participate and Empower

These are called Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are primarily economic goals. The aim is to achieve sustainable cities, reduced inequalities amongst countries, responsible consumption and clean and affordable energy for everyone. Now, GlobalShala has come up with a unique and first of its kind competition called Superhero U to bring attention to these Goals.
