Sustainable development

1. Sustainable Development JANUARY 14, 2021

2. Our actions/decisions, even the smallest ones, when coupled with a million other small actions, can create colossal, perhaps even irreversible effects/impact We are much part of this world, as much as it is part of us

3. It is innate and natural for human beings to have desires and pursue such wants and needs especially given our current time where we have more means and freedom to work towards certain goals Nowadays, as we realize how much more we are capable of, we seek growth, we seek better outcomes and situations, we seek development, we seek more and more and more

4. These desires may be of varying manner and forms but one thing is for sure: THEY ARE INFINITE But while wants are infinite, resources and means are not

5. The world as a whole still faces a number of persistent sustainable development problems, including Rapid urbanization, poverty and hunger, the loss of biodiversity and climate change. More than 1 billion people are still living in extreme poverty, and income inequality within and among many countries.

6. The Global Challenges (by the Millennium Project) are transnational in nature and trans institutional in solution. These threats to the Earth System have led the science community and policy makers to work more closely to meet the challenge in a sustainable and collaborative manner.

7. Sustainability

8. SUSTAINABILITY Is defined as the process of maintaining change in a balanced way, in which the exploitation of resources, the direction of investments, the orientation of technological development and institutional change are all in harmony and enhance both current and future potential to meet human needs and aspirations

9. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT The development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

10. CONCEPTS OF SUSTAINABLE DEV’T The concept of 'needs, ' in particular the essential needs of the world's poor, to which overriding priority should be given. T he idea of limitations imposed by the state of technology and social organization on the environment's ability to meet present and future needs.

11. CONCEPTS OF SUSTAINABLE DEV’T Thus the goals of economic and social development must be defined in terms of sustainability in all countries — developed or developing, market-oriented or centrally planned. Interpretations will vary, but must share certain general features and must flow from a consensus on the basic concept of sustainable development and on a broad strategic framework for achieving it.

12. DIMENSIONS OF SUSTAINABLE DEV’T For sustainable development to be achieved, three core elements must be attained Economic growth Social inclusion Environmental protection

13. DIMENSIONS OF SUSTAINABLE DEV’T Economic Growth Economic growth is an increase in the production of goods and services in an economy. Increases in capital goods, labor force, technology, and human capital can all contribute to economic growth.

14. DIMENSIONS OF SUSTAINABLE DEV’T Social Inclusion Defined as the process of improving the terms of participation in society, particularly for people who are disadvantaged, through enhancing opportunities, access to resources, voice and respect for rights.

15. DIMENSIONS OF SUSTAINABLE DEV’T Sustainable development means to take economic benefit which can help to raise the living standard of the present generation without affecting the need for future generation. It means to conserve resources without affecting its quantity and quality. The main aim of sustainable development is to balance among the population, various resources, various aspects of environment and development.

16. The Sustainability Dashboard The five key elements (“5 Ps”) that led to the development of the SDGs

17. SDG SUMMIT 2015 On September 25, 2015, 193 Heads of State at the United Nations General Assembly set up a collection of 17 goals known as The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or simply Global Goals. The SDGs and their 169 targets form the core of Resolution 70/1 of the United Nations, which is a breakthrough agreement called AGENDA 2030.

18. SDG SUMMIT 2015 The goals are to be achieved by all member states by year 2030. They are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure all people enjoy peace and prosperity. The goals are broad, interdependent and cover social, economic and social issues and making them work is everyone’s responsibility.

19. SDG’s: UNIVERSAL, INDIVISIBLE, AND TRANSFORMATIVE

20. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

21. Poverty is defined as income less than 1.25 USD per day. The targets for this goal include a world where the poor are not vulnerable to climate change and have equal rights to economic resources. Economic growth must be inclusive to provide sustainable jobs and promote equality. This goal aims to eradicate extreme poverty by year 2030. SDG 1 : END POVERTY IN ALL ITS FORMS EVERYWHERE

22. Many still suffer from hunger and malnutrition around the world, mostly women and children. The food and agriculture sector offers key solutions for development, and is central for hunger and poverty eradication. Targets for this goal include ending malnutrition, protecting small farmers, protecting the genetic diversity of crops produced and investing in research to make farming more productive. SDG 2: END HUNGER, ACHIEVE FOOD SECURITY AND IMPROVED NUTRITION AND PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE

23. Ensuring healthy lives and promoting the well being for all at all ages is essential to sustainable development. Goal includes calls for universal health coverage, increasing healthcare workforce, reducing illness and death by pollution, comprehensive agenda for tackling a wide range of global health challenges such as AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis. Vaccinate your family to protect them and improve public health. SDG 3: ENSURE HEALTHY LIVES AND PROMOTE WELL-BEING FOR ALL AT ALL AGES

24. Obtaining a quality education is the foundation to improving people’s lives and sustainable development. Targets for this goal include the need for access to university level education, vocational training and entrepreneurial skills. Help children in your community to read.

26. Clean, accessible water for all is an essential part of the world we want to live in. Basic water scarcity affects 40% of world population. Targets for this goal include programs that provide access to basic technologies like toilets or latrines as well was protecting ecosystems that provide water. Avoid wasting water. SDG 6: ENSURE AVAILABILITY AND SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF WATER AND SANITATION FOR ALL

27. Energy is central to nearly every major challenge and opportunity. About 1.3 billion people globally have no access to electricity . Targets for this goal emphasize a conversion to renewable sources and a dramatic improvement in efficiency everywhere. Use only energy efficient light bulbs or appliances. SDG 7 : ENSURE ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE, RELIABLE, SUSTAINABLE AND MODERN ENERGY FOR ALL

28. Sustainable economic growth will require societies to create the conditions that allow people to have quality jobs. About 75 million people between ages 15 and 24 are estimated to be unemployed and out of school globally. This goal targets closing that gap using innovation, as well as separating growth from ecosystem degradation. SDG 8 : PROMOTE SUSTAINED, INCLUSIVE AND SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC GROWTH, FULL AND PRODUCTIVE EMPLOYMENT AND DECENT WORK FOR ALL

34. Careful management of this essential global resource is a key feature of a sustainable future. The world’s oceans are overfished, under-protected and stressed from climate change and pollution. The target for this goal include research and learning to find out more about what lies beneath the oceans so as to better save them. Avoid plastic bags to keep the oceans safe and clean. SDG 14 : CONSERVE AND SUSTAINABLY USE THE OCEANS, SEAS AND MARINE RESOURCES FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
