Hope and Reaching Goals
3
2002individuals with higher levels of hope are more likely to meet their goals1 because these individuals have high agency-related hope thoughts2 (i.e., belief that they can attain their goals and are successful in life) and pathways-related hope thoughts2 (i.e., belief that they can overcome barriers and develop alternative solutions to goal attainment when needed).https://www.jstor.org/stable/1448874Oettingen, G., & Gollwitzer, P.

Goal 1: No Poverty
5
2020There is a bidirectional relationship between hopelessness and poverty; those who live in states of poverty are likely to experience higher levels of hopelessness and those who have higher levels of hopelessness are likely to experience more poverty. https://www.nccaa.net/post/does-poverty-cause-people-to-lose-hopeNorth Carolina Commnunity Action Association.

2017Individuals who believe in their future, or having higher hope, are more likely to invest into their future subsequently having better financial outcomes. https://spotlightonpoverty.org/spotlight-exclusives/loss-hope-low-income-america/Graham, C.

2015The article states poverty is not only about money, but also about a person's self-esteem, opportunity, hope, and freedom. There is a poverty trap fueled by hopelessness and stress; thus, one way to mitigate poverty is through hope activation.https://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/21/opinion/nicholas-kristof-the-power-of-hope-is-real.htmlKristof, N.

2018The paper outlines how hope, positive emotions, and character strength are linked to agricultural technology adoption. Hope is a driver for agricultural technology because people who have higher levels of hope take action to reach their goals. Multiple researchers have found that those hope is correlated to environmental changes. Thus, the article argues that promoting farmers' sense of hope may help promote farming techniques, which in turn, would increase food supply while simultaneously addressing the environmental crisis. https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/10/5/1615Bukchin, S., & Kerret, D.

2020Researchers found that hope positively moderated the relationship between financial capability and food insecurity. These resutls mean increasing financial capability and hope may improve the efficacy of food assistance programs and reduce food insecurity. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/0743915619889341?casa_token=BgE4sDwXsFgAAAAA:eEgpQsZgZuUSBn4U-gdmrSNPwqIiGAZLArYBlp1yNSrvxn6XanQ9otDX7FUJLeLRTqLhtDU2fBwGilbert, J., & Ashley, C.

2015Results found that as hope levels increased, quality of life also increased. Thus, the authors suggest hope-based interventions can help terminally ill patients. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25842378/Germann, J.N., Leonard, D., Stuenzi, T. J., Stewart, S.

2015The article proposes that we change the language in the SDGs to more explicitly address mental health. More than 80% of individuals with mental illness do not have access to effective treatment and each year more than 800,000 people die by suicide. The argument is made that targetting mental health directly as part of the SDGs is necessary for sustainable social and economic development.https://ijmhs.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13033-015-0003-0Minas, H., Tsutsumi, A., Izutsu, T., Goetzke, K., & Thornicroft, G.

Goal 4: Quality Education
18
2001Students with high ultimate hope are more motivated and more committed to their studies and the same is true for teachers. Teachers with higher levels of hope are able to motivate students who are the most "disaffected." https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1111/1467-8527.t01-1-00184Halpin, D. (2010).

2013Literature review on hope within educational settings. Key takeaways are that hope is the best predictor of grades; students with high hope invest more effort int their goals and persist in working towards their goals despite obstacles; and students with learning disabilities often have lower levels of hope. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Orly-Idan/publication/264933141_HOPE_THEORY_IN_EDUCATION_SYSTEMS/links/53f60b490cf2fceacc6fda58/HOPE-THEORY-IN-EDUCATION-SYSTEMS.pdfIdan, O., & Margalit, M.

Goal 5: Gender Equality
22
Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
23
2008Climate change is having serious implications on our mental health. As climate change results in increased disasters (i.e., flooding, tornados), people are experiencing greater acute truamatic stress, with symptoms only subsiding once safety and security have been re-established. There is also a threat of basic goods (i.e. ,water resources) become more scarce, which increases anxiety. Additionally, scarce water may increase violent conflicts as people fight for clean water. One proposed solution is hope, as it gives people a pathway to solve the problem of water scarcity as they move from despair and hopelessness to a sense of empowerment. https://ijmhs.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1752-4458-2-13Fritze, J., Blashki, G., Burke, S., & Wiseman, J.

Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy
25
2019This research explored how hope relates to activism. Findings indicated constructive hope (i.e., making progress on clean energy) coupled with constructive doubt (i.e., the reality of the threat of climate change) aids in sparking action among people. People who had constructive hope and constructive doubt were more likely to take action via political engagement or policy support. https://environment.yale.edu/bibcite/reference/1945Marlon, J.

2017Hopelessness and hope each predicted suicidal ideation. As we work to improve hope across the world, suicide rates can fall.https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/07481187.2017.1299255Chang, E. C. (2017).

Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infastructure
32
2009Hope is found to predict creativity; thus, hope is necessary for innovation.https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2009-07071-007Rego, A., Machado, F., Leal, S. & Cunha, M.P.E. (2009) Are Hopeful Employees More Creative? An Empirical Study. Creativity Research Journal, 21(2-3), 223-231.

2012Individuals with higher levels of hope are less likely to return to jail. Lower crime rates enevitably make cities/communities safer. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3532844/Dekhtyar, M., Beasley, C. R., Jason, L. A., & Ferrari, J. R. (2012).

37
Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
38
2020Findings from the study indicated personal motivation, environmental motivation, and hope significantly predict an early adoption of green technologies. Thus, hope is a factor for responsible energy consumption, as individuals with higher levels of hope are more likely to adopt greener alternatives. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11356-019-07251-yBukchin, S., & Kerret, D.

Goal 13: Climate Action
40
2022The article asserts that healthcare providers must work to incorporate hope into their practice as a way to improve hope levels within their patients. Further, the article stats that hopeful people take action, which can help confront the climate crisis. Finally, the article provides strategies for promoting hope in healthcare practices .https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667278222000049Frumkin, H. (2022).

41
2022This article reviews literature on climate-change hope and actions. Many studies have found that hope is positively correlated with climate-change engagement and pro-environmental behaviors. Thus, if we work to increase hope worldwide, then there will be more global actions to fight climate change. https://www.sciencedirect.com/sdfe/reader/pii/S2352250X22002354/pdfOjala, M. (2022).

42
N.DMany people experience feelings of hopelessness surrounding the future due to climate change. However, hope is an effective strategy to cope as it allows individuals to develop meaningful goals while also acknowledging positive aspects (i.e., that more and more people are recognizing climate change as an issue).https://mgiep.unesco.org/article/climate-change-and-hopeOjala, M.

Goal 14: Life Below Water
44
Goal 15: Life on Land
45
2020As farming contributes to much land pollution, researchers sought to determine whether hope can lead to more sustainable technology use in farming. They found higher hope increases the changes (more than any other studied construct) of farmers adopting sustainable technologies in farming. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17565529.2021.1872477Peles, S., & Kerret, D.

Goal 17: Partnership to achieve the Goal
50
2017The study found news images and texts focused on climate-oriented actions can increase hope. Climate-oriented text reduces fear and anger. Researchers also found that hope and fear together result in increased support for climate policies. Anger, however, decreases climate-change actions. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/risa.12868?casa_token=MIrspVam1esAAAAA%3ADoXF-BI8ynTZQ-ByPdHMiWWyYR_2OfBWlZrbUIMoe3raRtixlfJEHpsO5SKEqH0idAg_pd57WQ4ZSQFeldman, L., & Hart, P.
