DBoth statements are false

Correct answer: (A) Both statements 1 and 2 are true

Explanation

Both statements are true, so the quality-of-life aim and the equity pledges hold together.

Statement 1 is right, as sustainable development seeks a good quality of life for present and future generations.

Statement 2 is right, as 'leave no one behind' and 'reach the furthest behind first' are core pledges of the agenda.

These pledges push help toward the poorest and most excluded before others.

Together the two statements pair the agenda's long-term aim with its fairness commitment.

The 2030 Agenda rests on the five pillars of people, planet, prosperity, peace and partnership.
