Technology solutions Many of the technologies you have explored so far aim to improve the lives of people with little or no access to the technologies needed to lead a decent quality of life. To reach the Global Goals targets, we all need to take action now to ensure that everyone in the world has access to suitable technologies by 2030. 10
