Biotechnology for sustainable development goals (SDGs) highlights the pivotal role of life sciences in achieving the United Nations’ agenda for a more equitable and sustainable future. From combating hunger through genetically improved crops to ensuring clean water via microbial purification systems, biotechnology offers practical solutions across all 17 SDGs. Innovations in biodegradable materials, carbon capture using engineered microbes, and bio-based energy support environmental sustainability, while advancements in affordable diagnostics and vaccines enhance global health equity. Biotechnology for Sustainable Development Goals also contributes to education, economic growth, and reduced inequalities through inclusive bio-entrepreneurship and capacity-building programs. By aligning scientific innovation with ethical responsibility and environmental stewardship, biotechnology becomes an essential catalyst for driving transformative change on a global scale.
