Sustainable Development

1. THE KEY TO IMPLEMENTING THE
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

2. INTRODUCTION
• The Agenda 2030 with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs) provides the framework that all 193 United Nations
(UN) member states have pledged to achieve (United Nations,
2015).
• ‘’The development that meets the needs of the present
without compromising the ability of future generations to
meet their own needs.’’

3. OBJECTIVE OF SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT GOALS
• Reduce pollution by using eco-friendly technology.
• Protection of environment.
• Social equality in accessing resources.
• Restrain the use of natural resources to ensure
availability for the future generations.

4. GOAL-1
• Despite considerable progress in the
fight against poverty since 1990, over
800 million people, 70% of whom are
women, still live in extreme poverty.
The new Sustainable Development
Agenda will now aim to eradicate
extreme poverty by 2030.
• By 2030, eradicate extreme poverty
for all people everywhere, currently
measured as people living on less
than $1.25 a day .
• Implement nationally appropriate
social protection systems and
measures for all, including floors, and
by 2030 achieve substantial coverage
of the poor and the vulnerable.
GOAL-2
• The aim of the 2030 Agenda is to
end hunger and all forms of
malnutrition around the world within
the next 15 years.
• In view of the rapidly growing global
demand for food, it is estimated that
food production worldwide will need
to have doubled by 2050.
• By 2030, end hunger and ensure
access by all people, in particular the
poor and people in vulnerable
situations, including infants, to safe,
nutritious and sufficient food all year
round .

5. GOAL-3
• The Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs) have made a significant
contribution to improving global
health, e.g. in the fight against
diseases such as AIDS, tuberculosis
and malaria. For example, the
number of malaria deaths has fallen
by 60% since 2000.
• By 2030, reduce the global maternal
mortality ratio to less than 70 per
100,000 live births .
• By 2030, end the epidemics of AIDS,
tuberculosis, malaria and neglected
tropical diseases and combat
hepatitis, water-borne diseases and
other communicable diseases.
GOAL-4
• The international community has
reaffirmed the importance of
education and good-quality training
in improving the living conditions of
individuals, communities and entire
societies.
• By 2030, ensure that all girls and
boys complete free, equitable and
quality primary and secondary
education leading to relevant and
effective learning outcomes.
• By 2030, ensure that all girls and boys
have access to quality early childhood
development, care and pre-primary
education so that they are ready for
primary education.

6. GOAL-5
• Gender inequality is one of the
biggest obstacles to sustainable
development, economic growth and
poverty reduction.
• Thanks to MDG 3 on gender equality
and women’s empowerment,
progress in enrolling girls into school
and integrating women into the job
market has been considerable.
• Eliminate all forms of violence
against all women and girls in the
public and private spheres, including
trafficking and sexual and other types
of exploitation.
GOAL-6
• Access to drinking water and
sanitation is a human right and,
together with water resources, a key
determinant in all aspects of social,
economic and environmental
development.
• By 2030, achieve universal and
equitable access to safe and
affordable drinking water for all .
• By 2030, achieve access to adequate
and equitable sanitation and hygiene
for all and end open defecation,
paying special attention to the needs
of women and girls and those in
vulnerable situations.

7. GOAL-7
• Access to energy is an essential
prerequisite to achieving many sustainable
development goals that extend far beyond
the energy sector, such as eradicating
poverty, increasing food production,
providing clean water, improving public
health, enhancing education, creating
economic opportunity and empowering
women.
• By 2030, double the global rate of
improvement in energy efficiency.
• By 2030, ensure universal access to
affordable, reliable and modern energy
services.
GOAL-8
• According to current figures, over 200
million people around the world are
unemployed, especially young people.
Employment and economic growth play a
significant part in combating poverty.
• Sustain per capita economic growth in
accordance with national circumstances
and, in particular, at least 7 per cent gross
domestic product growth per annum in
the least developed countries.
• By 2020, substantially reduce the
proportion of youth not in employment,
education or training.

8. GOAL-9
• Investment in sustainable
infrastructure and in scientific and
technological research increases
economic growth, creates jobs and
promotes prosperity.
• Goal 9 therefore aims to build
resilient infrastructure, promote
industrialisation and foster
innovation.
• Increase the access of small-scale
industrial and other enterprises, in
particular in developing countries, to
financial services, including
affordable credit, and their
integration into value chains and
markets.
GOAL-10
• Global inequalities are massive and
present one of the biggest obstacles
to sustainable development and the
fight against poverty.
• In concrete terms, Goal 10 advocates
delivering sustained income growth
to the poorest 40% of the global
population and achieving
empowerment and social, economic
and political inclusion for all by 2030.
• Implement the principle of special
and differential treatment for
developing countries, in particular
least developed countries, in
accordance with World Trade
Organization agreements.

9. GOAL-11
• Urbanisation is one of the most
significant developments of the 21st
century. More than half of the global
population lives in cities, a proportion
that is expected to increase to 70%
by 2050.
• Goal 11 aims to reduce the adverse
per capita environmental impact of
cities, particularly in terms of air
quality and waste management.
• :Support positive economic, social
and environmental links between
urban, peri-urban and rural areas by
strengthening national and regional
development planning.
GOAL-12
• The world’s population currently
consumes more resources than
ecosystems can provide. For social
and economic development to
remain within the carrying capacity
of ecosystems, fundamental changes
are necessary in the way societies
produce and consume.
• By 2030, achieve the sustainable
management and efficient use of
natural resources.
• By 2030, substantially reduce waste
generation through prevention,
reduction, recycling and reuse.

10. GOAL-13
• Climate change is a key challenge
with regard to sustainable
development.
• Improve education, awareness-
raising and human and institutional
capacity on climate change
mitigation, adaptation, impact
reduction and early warning.
• Promote mechanisms for raising
capacity for effective climate change-
related planning and management in
least developed countries and small
island developing States, including
focusing on women, youth and local
and marginalized communities.
GOAL-14
• Pollution and over-exploitation of our
oceans are posing ever-greater
problems, such as an acute threat to
biodiversity, ocean acidification and
an increase in plastic waste.
• By 2025, prevent and significantly
reduce marine pollution of all kinds,
in particular from land-based
activities, including marine debris
and nutrient pollution.
• Minimize and address the impacts of
ocean acidification, including through
enhanced scientific cooperation at all
levels.

11. GOAL-15
• The conservation and sustainable
use of biodiversity are vital to
social and economic
development as well as to
humanity’s survival.
• By 2020, promote the
implementation of sustainable
management of all types of
forests, halt deforestation,
restore degraded forests and
substantially increase
afforestation and reforestation
globally.
GOAL-16
• Evidence shows that without
peaceful and inclusive
communities and effective
governance, development cannot
be sustainable.
• Significantly reduce all forms of
violence and related death rates
everywhere.
• Promote the rule of law at the
national and international levels
and ensure equal access to justice
for all. 16

12. Goal-17
• Goal 17 calls on developed countries to renew their commitment to
allocate 0.7% of their gross national income to official development
assistance. It aims for a greater mobilisation of domestic resources
to reduce dependence on foreign support, as well as enhanced
international collaboration in science, technology and innovation,
and the promotion of an equitable multilateral trading system. Goal
17 also advocates enhancing macroeconomic stability and policy
coherence in the interests of sustainable development.
• Strengthen domestic resource mobilization, including through
international support to developing countries, to improve domestic
capacity for tax and other revenue collection .
• Mobilize additional financial resources for developing countries
from multiple sources
