Explanation

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development [2]. There are 17 integrated goals designed to balance social, economic, and environmental sustainability [4]. Statement 1 refers to SDG 8, which aims to promote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all [4]. Statement 2 refers to SDG 16, which focuses on promoting peaceful and inclusive societies, providing access to justice for all, and building effective, accountable, and inclusive institutions [1]. Statement 3 refers to SDG 12, which is dedicated to ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns [4]. Since all three statements correctly identify specific UN Sustainable Development Goals, the correct answer is 1, 2, and 3.
