The lifestyle of the inhabitants of Lamezia Terme, Italy does not fully reflect the principles of sustainable development. Local governments have not implemented education programs to raise awareness of sustainability issues among residents. People live focusing only on short-term gains without considering long-term environmental, social, and economic impacts. This is due to a combination of historical economic disadvantages compared to northern Italy, lack of funding, and influence of criminal organizations. To improve the situation, a national policy on sustainable development is needed to provide clear guidance and plans to local governments, and more partnerships between public and private sectors could help address the issue.

Environmental issues in the context of urban povetyMahtabAlam80
This document discusses environmental issues related to urban poverty. It covers five dimensions of urban poverty: income, health, education, security, and empowerment. It also examines how pollution, lack of sanitation and natural disasters affect the health of urban poor populations. The document provides frameworks for understanding the relationship between urban poverty and environmental problems. It explores strategies for governments, private sectors and other actors to improve environmental conditions and reduce the impacts of environmental hazards on vulnerable urban communities.
This chapter discusses economics, the environment, and sustainability. It covers the following key points in 3 sentences:
Economic systems depend on natural, human, and manufactured capital. Markets fail to fully account for environmental costs, so governments intervene through various policies. Moving to a more sustainable economy will require shifting subsidies from polluting to green industries, taxing pollution over profits, and creating new green jobs in renewable energy and recycling.
This document summarizes the limitations of applying classical environmentalism to sustainably governing cities. It discusses how classical environmentalism works best under conditions like robust economic growth and educated citizens, but faces challenges in both poor cities and wealthy cities. For poor cities, the main limitation is lack of economic feasibility and capital to invest in necessary infrastructure. For wealthy cities, the issues are lack of effective feedback on consumption impacts and difficulty regulating personal choices. The document concludes more social innovation is needed to develop alternatives to classical environmentalism for sustainable urban governance.

Urbanization is increasing rapidly around the world and having significant impacts on the environment. By 2050, 64% of the developing world and 86% of the developed world will be urbanized. This rapid urban growth is causing problems like deforestation, air and water pollution, solid waste accumulation, and loss of agricultural land. Developing countries face more severe environmental impacts due to poor urban planning and inadequate infrastructure to handle the negative effects of urbanization. While urbanization enables economic growth, it also threatens the natural environment if not managed carefully through long-term planning and public-private partnerships that prioritize environmentally friendly development.

The lifestyle of the inhabitants of Lagos, Nigeria does not fully reflect the principles of sustainable development due to several issues. Lagos has a very high population that is growing rapidly, straining resources and infrastructure. A typical Lagosian's lifestyle negatively impacts the environment through practices like improper waste disposal, pollution from vehicles, and lack of recycling. Socially, corruption and poor infrastructure limit access to education and healthcare. Economically, the population relies heavily on imports rather than developing local industry and exports. To better achieve sustainable development, the summary recommends improving access to education and healthcare, promoting recycling and environmental regulations, developing local manufacturing and agriculture, and government policies that encourage a less import-dependent economy.

Globalisation, sustainability and localismaquinas_rs
This document discusses issues related to globalization, sustainability, and localism. It introduces the key topics to be covered, which are: understanding globalization and sustainability issues; learning about schemes to promote sustainable living; and evaluating the effectiveness of sustainability schemes and whether globalization conflicts with sustainability. The rest of the document provides further details on these topics, including discussions of local sourcing of goods, fair trade and ethical consumption, and recycling as responses to globalization and consumerism. It also examines the tensions between globalization and sustainability.
The document outlines the 17 Sustainable Development Goals including goals related to no poverty, zero hunger, good health and well-being, quality education, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, affordable and clean energy, decent work and economic growth, industry innovation and infrastructure, reducing inequality, sustainable cities and communities, responsible consumption and production, climate action, life below water, life on land, peace justice and strong institutions, and partnerships for the goals. For each goal, it provides information on actions individuals can take, key facts, and why achieving each goal is important.
The document discusses sustainable development in Santiago, Dominican Republic. It analyzes whether the city's lifestyle reflects sustainable behavior and identifies areas for improvement. It finds that Santiago does not fully align with sustainable development due to issues like: high inequality, lack of quality education accessible to all, poor waste management impacting the environment and public health, and gender inequality including high rates of femicide. The document recommends measures to address these issues by involving all three pillars of sustainability - social, environmental, economic. It suggests improving equal opportunities, social programs, education reform, environmental regulations and awareness, and efforts to reduce gender violence.
Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11) aims to make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. Rapid urbanization is straining urban infrastructure and resources. Sustainable cities can reduce poverty and improve living standards. However, cities face challenges like affordable housing, inadequate public transportation, lack of green spaces, and poor urban planning. The targets under SDG 11 address these issues to promote sustainable urban development.
Overpopulation and poor waste management in growing cities will be a major environmental challenge by 2030. Cities need sustainable planning to accommodate 5 billion additional people, including compact development, green spaces, and public transport prioritizing pedestrians. Growing populations strain waste management systems and increase risks like flooding. Proposed strategies include developing smaller satellite cities to distribute populations, upgrading waste facilities, encouraging sustainable consumption, and engaging communities in waste reduction. Individual actions like having fewer children and consuming less can also help mitigate overpopulation impacts.
The document discusses the role of science, technology, and innovation in driving sustainable development. It outlines several global challenges, including continued population growth, climate change, and their impact on natural systems. Meeting basic human needs for the projected 9 billion people by 2050 while protecting the environment will require innovations in areas like water and resource management, food and energy production, sustainable consumption, and education. Science academies can help by providing evidence and advice to inform development policies and promote scientific literacy.
This document discusses several social issues in India related to population growth, urbanization, food security, and environmental degradation caused by factors such as industrialization and overuse of natural resources. It then covers topics around sustainable development, including its definition, objectives, and key areas to focus on like improving energy efficiency and managing natural resources. The document also addresses issues related to women and child welfare, as well as HIV/AIDS prevention and transmission. It concludes by discussing water conservation, rainwater harvesting, and watershed management techniques.
The document discusses sustainable development in the city of Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia. It notes that there is currently no link between social, economic, and environmental issues in the city. It then lists several examples of unsustainable behavior observed in the city, including excess consumption of resources like food, water, electricity, and fuel. The document proposes that individuals, societies, and governments need to recognize ecological limits and find ways to live within Earth's bounds. It advocates for reducing consumption and waste, promoting alternatives like public transport and renewable energy, and increasing recycling and conservation awareness.
Findings of the sixth Global Environment OutlookKisrak Albahr
each slide in this presentation will have a learning objective presented. The purpose is to identify the main message that the presenter should be trying to convey with the slide and also to stress that we are trying to transfer knowledge, not simply raise awareness. In the transfer of knowledge there should retention of that knowledge so that eventually there may be action taken with that new knowledge. Awareness raising, on the other hand, may not lead to action being taken because the knowledge is not retained as readily.
For this slide, the presenter should be trying to convey appreciation their appreciation for the opportunity provided and also that the presentation provides a very high-level overview of the findings from the larger 700 page report, therefore some of the details may be lost.
Another key learning objective of the presentation is that, although GEO-6 presents quite a lot of negative information about the state of the environment, the overall thrust of the publication is optimistic and solutions-oriented, much like the cover of the publication, which tries to portray the sustainable world that we might all be living in by 2050.
Proposed speaking points
Thank you colleagues and I’d like to thank European Council for their generous invitation to review together the findings of the Global Environment Outlook.
I’d like to remind everyone that this is an overview of the main findings from the 700-page report and therefore we won’t really go into the finer details of the findings. Perhaps these can be covered in the question and answer session that will follow.
I’d like to first ask everyone to reflect on the cover of GEO-6. We have tried to provide a vision of what a sustainable world might look like in 2050 using this cover. Our hope is that readers might focus more on the positive and solutions-oriented messages in the report rather than the negative messages about the current state of our environment. We hope that you can each ‘imagine this world’ by looking at our cover, since this is the first step in achieving this world.
This document summarizes key findings from the sixth Global Environment Outlook report. It finds that while human development has increased, current environmental policies are insufficient to meet sustainability goals. Most environmental indicators, such as air pollution, biodiversity loss, water scarcity and land degradation, are projected to further deteriorate by 2030 and 2050 without transformative action. Transforming food and energy systems, reducing consumption and waste, and fully integrating environmental policies across all sectors are necessary to change this trajectory. Participatory approaches that engage local communities can help achieve the social and technical innovations required for systemic change towards a sustainable future.
The document discusses solid and hazardous waste management, outlining 8 chapters that cover topics like solid waste generation and collection, handling and processing, transportation and disposal. It also examines factors contributing to solid waste problems and provides definitions and sources of different types of solid wastes. The goal of integrated solid waste management is to manage waste in a way that protects public health and the environment.
Sustainable development aims to meet current needs without compromising future generations by balancing economic, social, and environmental factors. It faces threats from economic disparity, social inequality, and environmental degradation. The United Nations adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals in 2015 to achieve sustainable consumption and production patterns globally through consensus. Sustainable consumption ensures resources are used efficiently and not depleted, which can be encouraged through policies promoting resource efficiency, especially in key areas like water, energy, and food. Individuals adopting low-carbon lifestyles can also minimize their environmental impact through sustainable consumption practices.

The document discusses models for conducting needs assessments and analyzing the results to prioritize communities' real and felt needs in order to help the government and organizations better target their interventions.
Sustainable development Strategies.pptxAmit Baraikar
The document discusses strategies for sustainable development. It defines sustainable development as integrating economic, social and environmental objectives to maximize human well-being without compromising future generations' ability to meet their needs. It notes that India's large youth population needs to be engaged to drive sustainable development goals. If no action is taken, environmental degradation and threats like climate change will worsen. Some strategies mentioned include relying on renewable energy sources, reducing pollution, poverty and unemployment. Challenges include extreme poverty, political instability and environmental deterioration. Deep structural changes are needed across all sectors of society to transition to sustainable development. Citizens can contribute by reducing consumption, using less resources and engaging in fair trade and community projects.
The document discusses the barriers to active travel like walking and cycling. It notes that physical inactivity costs the UK economy billions per year and is a major cause of disease. While some trips are made by foot, most are by car. It then discusses the health and environmental benefits of active travel, and notes challenges like road safety issues and a lack of infrastructure. The response proposes developing a delivery plan with cross-sector partners to build skills and confidence, improve infrastructure, and promote active travel opportunities to make walking and cycling easier options for transportation.

The response proposes developing a delivery plan with cross-sector partners to build skills and infrastructure that makes active travel easier and more convenient in Kirklees. However, it acknowledges overcoming barriers will be difficult due to conflicting priorities around traffic and pressures to cater to drivers.
Education for Sustainable developmmentVENIE PESITO
Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) aims to use education as a tool to achieve sustainability. ESD seeks to provide people with the knowledge, skills, and perspectives needed for sustainable living. While education increases awareness of sustainability, simply increasing basic literacy is not enough - curriculums must be reoriented to address sustainable production and consumption. Implementing ESD requires participation across communities to develop programs that are locally relevant while addressing global sustainability challenges. Education is key to building capacity for informed decision-making and quality of life improvements towards a sustainable future.
The document outlines several problems faced by cities today, including poor infrastructure, income inequality, political instability, and increasing pollution. It then discusses visions for the economy, society, environment, and technology of the future city. The economic vision focuses on incentives for companies and trade stability. The social vision aims to provide monetary security, reduce female foeticide, and ensure food security. The environmental vision emphasizes stricter pollution regulations and more sustainable green buildings. The technological vision funds research in areas like electric cars, medical advances, and improved housing materials. The future city is envisioned as carbon neutral, self-reliant, and sustainable, using solar and wind energy, green buildings, and organic farms outside the city.

A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

Confirmation of Payee (CoP) is a vital security measure adopted by financial institutions and payment service providers. Its core purpose is to confirm that the recipient’s name matches the information provided by the sender during a banking transaction, ensuring that funds are transferred to the correct payment account.
Confirmation of Payee was built to tackle the increasing numbers of APP Fraud and in the landscape of UK banking, the spectre of APP fraud looms large. In 2022, over £1.2 billion was stolen by fraudsters through authorised and unauthorised fraud, equivalent to more than £2,300 every minute. This statistic emphasises the urgent need for robust security measures like CoP. While over £1.2 billion was stolen through fraud in 2022, there was an eight per cent reduction compared to 2021 which highlights the positive outcomes obtained from the implementation of Confirmation of Payee. The number of fraud cases across the UK also decreased by four per cent to nearly three million cases during the same period; latest statistics from UK Finance.
In essence, Confirmation of Payee plays a pivotal role in digital banking, guaranteeing the flawless execution of banking transactions. It stands as a guardian against fraud and misallocation, demonstrating the commitment of financial institutions to safeguard their clients’ assets. The next time you engage in a banking transaction, remember the invaluable role of CoP in ensuring the security of your financial interests.

In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

IE BUSINESS SCHOOL APPLICATION QUESTION G
1. Question G: “Do you think that the lifestyle of the inhabitants of
your town or city reflects behavior that is in line with the concept
of sustainable development? In your opinion, what should be
improved?”
By: Olanrewaju Wilton-Waddell
2. Outline:
• The concept of sustainable development
• Few facts about Lagos
• Overpopulation: A major issue
• The life style of the inhabitants of Lagos in relation to
sustainable development
• My personal opinion of what should be improved
3. Sustainable Development
• “Sustainable development is development that
meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to
meet their own needs.”
-World Commission on Environment and
Development (WCED)
• “Sustainable development is the ability of a
country to progress economically, socially and
politically without depleting its natural
resources.”
4. Aspects of Sustainable Development
SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT
ECONOMIC NEEDS
- Continuous Economic
Growth
- Industrial Growth
-Agricultural Growth
-Household Needs
ENVIRONMENTAL
NEEDS
-Pollution
(Contaminated water,
polluted air)
- Natural Resources
- Recycling
SOCIAL NEEDS
- Equity
- Education & Training
-Access to family
planning
- Health Care
- Basic Infrastructure
5. Did you know?
1. Lagos is the smallest state, yet the most
populous city in Nigeria.
2. Lagos is the largest city in Africa.
3. Lagos is the fastest growing city in Africa with a
population of only 7.7million inhabitants in 1990
to a population of over 21million inhabitants
today.
4. The rate of poverty in Lagos is very high, and has
increased 7 fold from 6.27% in 1996 to 47% in
2013
6. Overpopulation: A major issue
- Estimates suggest that by 2020, Lagos will
become the 3rd most populous city in the world.
- High levels of population
growth relative to the
resources available and
infrastructure in place.
- This hinders sustainable
development
7. The lifestyle of Lagosians in relation to
sustainable development:
- To sum it up, the lifestyle of a typical Lagosian reflects poorly on
what sustainable development should resemble in terms of the
environmental, social issues and the economy
- There are many issues. Such as: weak Law enforcement, Bribery
and Corruption, Poor refuse disposal methods (resulting in
pollution), Numerous cars and Unnecessary use of cars (fuel
wastage), Little or no recycling, Dumping of waste near residential
areas (neglect of the environment), High usage of generators,
Improper Hygiene, Import dependent lifestyle
8. Social Issues
Poor infrastructure: This stems from bribery, corruption and misdirected use of
revenue as government officials embezzle money and diverts funds to their
personal use. Such poor infrastructure includes bad roads, poor power supply,
inadequate health care, poor transport systems.
9. Such corruption and poor infrastructure exacerbates poverty as the poor do not have
access to basic amenities such as health care and basic education.
The results out of school children.
10. Environmental Issues
Pollution: The inhabitants of Lagos have a poor attitude towards their
environment and surroundings:
Examples:
1. Dumping of waste near residential areas resulting in pollution.
2. No recycling is being done.
3. Unnecessary use of non-eco friendly cars resulting in excess carbon monoxide in
the air.
11. Economic Issues
Import Dependent Lifestyle: Majority of the goods used by Lagosians are
imported from other countries. From cars, to clothes to basic food. This is
unsustainable in the long run and harms our domestic markets. In addition, it puts
pressure on our foreign reserves and depletes the value of our currency.
12. What should be improved?
•Government should make basic education and health affordable
and accessible to all inhabitantsSocial Issues
•Government should enforce policies which promote recycling
•There should be more environmental regulations in place
•The use of more environmentally friendly cars should be
encouraged(e.g. Hybrid Cars)
•Alternative modes of transportation can also be used. E.g.
walking or cycling.
•Creating awareness of the importance of hygiene (via
conferences/orientation programmes)
•There should be waste management systems that collect waste
Environemtal Issues
•Major sectors of the economy such as manufacturing and
agriculture which are being neglected should be developed as
these sectors could generate more revenue and provide more
jobs
•Government policies to encourage exports
Economic Issues
Sustainable development can be divided into three broad categories, which are somehow intertwined. Social, Economic, and Environmental (All shown in the diagram)
