Answer

commit 致力
goal 目的

to publicly commit to a goal is to say in public that you are determined to do something. Example, I am a politician and you tell me to commit publicly to my goals.  I would take a microphone and say to the crowd, " I am committed to lowering taxes and reducing crime in your neighborhood."
