Sustainable Development

  Sustainable Development Goals: The Sustainable Development Goals were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a call-to-action for people worldwide to address five critical areas of importance by 2030: people, planet, prosperity, peace, and partnership . The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development,  adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests. In 2015, the 193 countries that make up the United Nations (UN) agreed to adopt the 2030 Agenda for...

  AFFORDABLE AND CLEAN ENERGY   Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7 or Global Goal 7) is one of 17  Sustainable Development Goals  established by the  United Nations General Assembly  in 2015. It aims to "Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all." [1]  Access to energy is a very important pillar for the wellbeing of the people as well as  economic development  and  poverty  alleviation.   The goal has five targets to be achieved by 2030. Progress towards the targets is measured by six indicators. [2]  Three out of the five targets are "outcome targets": Universal access to modern energy; increase global percentage of  renewable energy ; double the improvement in energy efficiency. The remaining two targets are "means of achieving targets": to promote access to research, technology and investments in  clean energy ; and expand and upgrade  ener...

  WAYS TO IMPROVE QUALITY EDUCATION:   Revise Educational Programs Based on Industry Changes Of course, one of your school’s lengthy  checklist  of goals is to equip its students for their future, and there’s no doubt about that. But, as numerous studies suggest, changes are always bound to happen in various industries. When those changes arrive, the education that your school teaches could become outdated, and to some degree, irrelevant. For that reason, you need to revise your school’s educational programs based on industry changes. As a school owner or educator, it’s your obligation to bridge the skills gap that has been an issue in our society. The skills gap refers to the mismatch of graduates’ competency and the employers’ requirements. Being able to equip students with the right knowledge and skillset is a significant criterion in delivering high-quality education. Retrain Faculty Staff We’re not saying that your faculty staff isn’t competent enoug...

  QUALITY EDUCATION:   Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all: SDG 4 emphasizes that, not only is education a human right, but quality education, relevant training, and opportunities for lifelong learning should be accessible to all. Achieving SDG 4 requires an improvement in the quality of education across the social spectrum, to ensure access to economic opportunities and better income prospects for all. Education provides people with the knowledge and skills to increase employment prospects, reduce poverty and improve health and wellbeing. While 91% of children in developing countries are enrolled in primary school, 57 million children are missing out, of whom more than half are from sub-Saharan Africa. Of the 103 million young people who don't have basic literacy skills, more than half are women. Education access and quality is particularly disrupted for people living in poverty or remote areas, and th...

  GENDER EQUALITY SDG 5 is aimed to  “achieve gender quality and empower all women and girls” , or simply on  “Gender Equality” . It has nine (9) targets and fourteen (14) indicators.  SDG 5 is focused on pursuing the main goal of real and sustained gender equality in all aspects of women and girls’ lives which includes (1) ending gender disparities, (2) eliminating violence against women and girls’ lives, (3) eliminating early and forced marriage, (4) securing equal participation and opportunities for leadership, and (5) universal access to sexual and reproductive rights. Gender equality, also known as sexual equality or equality of the sexes, is the state of equal ease of access to resources and opportunities regardless of gender, including economic participation and decision-making; and the state of valuing different behaviors, aspirations and needs equally, regardless of gender. Gender equality is the goal, while gender neutrality and gend...

  10 WAYS TO REDUCE POVERTY IN THE WORLD 1.   Develop and implement rapid and sustained economic  growth policies  and programs, in areas such as health, education, nutrition and sanitation, allowing the poor to participate and contribute to the growth. Studies show that a 10 percent increase in a country’s average income reduces poverty by as much as 20-30 percent. 2.   Improve management of water and other natural resources. Most of the rural poor depend on agriculture or other natural resources for their livelihood. Consequently, it is necessary that they have more equitable access to those resources so they are better able to manage their resources. 3.   Invest in and implement agricultural programs. China has helped  800 million people  out of poverty since 1978. As a part of its strategy to eradicate poverty by 2020, the Agricultural Bank of China will lend more than $400 billion to help develop rural areas, fund education, i...

  NO POVERTY End poverty in all its forms everywhere   No poverty  is the first goal out of the 17 Sustainable development goals as agreed upon in the year 2015.  Goal number one- ‘End poverty in all its forms everywhere’  under this goal by 2030 we need to eradicate extreme poverty for all people everywhere in the world. Currently, people living on $1.25/day are called to be in extreme poverty . Currently, 1 in 5 people – that’s 767 million people globally – living in developing countries live on less than $1.90 per day. The worst affected people live in sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia. Extreme poverty is strongly linked to countries and regions affected by military and financial instability. Younger populations are also more vulnerable to experiencing poverty due to lower incomes and unemployment; a situation that has become more pronounced by the global recession brought about by the pandemic. Extreme poverty is not just about a lack of suffici...

 10 WAYS TO STOP WORLD HUNGER 1.     1.   Sustainable Food Heifer International is an organization that helps transform agriculture. They fund projects so people can provide food for themselves in a sustainable way. This is very powerful, because ultimately we would like to see many impoverished areas not reliant on aid from foreign countries (which often causes debt) and able to create their own, steady, supply of food. 2.      2.  Access to credit: Many organizations are helping people in poor countries to gain access to credit. Most of these credit loans are repaid, and they have created many industries, such as farms, that help create a sustainable provision for people and also develop nations economically. If these people do not have access to credit, they cannot start up industries that combat poverty. 3. Food Donations Although ideally it would be better to get the entire world to a place of self-sustainability, it is not somet...

 Zero Hunger The number of people going hungry has increased since 2014. An estimated 821 million people were undernourished in 2017. The prevalence of undernourishment has remained virtually unchanged in the past three years at a level slightly below 11%. This reversal in progress sends a clear warning that urgent action must be taken if the Sustainable Development Goal of Zero Hunger is to be achieved by  2030. By  2050 there will be over 2 billion more people to feed. Most of this population growth is predicted to happen in the developing world, where the vast majority of malnourished people live and where a third of all child deaths are linked to hunger. In addition to the over 800 million suffering from hunger, 2 billion people in the world are macronutrient deficient, 1.9 billion over weight or obese, and 160 million under the age of five are stunted. Malnutrition is a complex issue that, in one form or another, affects every single country on earth – it is i...
