Introduction to Sustainable Development Goals
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
( GREEN SDGs OF VIZHA)
In 2015, countries adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals. On 1st January 2016, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development- adopted by world leaders in September 2015 at an historic UN Summit - officially came into force.
Over the next fifteen years, with these new Goals that universally apply to all, countries will mobilize efforts to end all forms of poverty, fight inequalities and tackle climate change, while ensuring that no one is left behind. The new Goals are unique in that they call for action by all countries, poor, rich and middle-income to promote prosperity while protecting the planet.
They recognise that ending poverty must go hand-in-hand with strategies that build economic growth and addresses a range of social needs including education, health, social protection, job opportunities, while tackling climate change and environmental protection. While the SDGs are not legally binding, governments are expected to take ownership and establish national frameworks for the achievement of the 17 Goals. Countries have the primary responsibilities for follow-up and review of the progress made in implementing the Goals, which will require quality, accessible and timely data collection. Regional follow-up and review will be based on national- level analyses and contribute to follow-up and review at the global level.
Sustainable development is the pathway to the future we want for all. It offers a framework to generate economic growth, achieve social justice, exercise environmental stewardship and strengthen governance.

ReplyDeletesustainable development is an economic development that is conducted without depletion of natural resources. And at the present moment, India is in a need of sustainable development in order to achieve our, SDGs . As per the SDGs the first one is, an end to Poverty. There are many ways via which we can end poverty in our country, India. Like, creating jobs or giving jobs to jobless people, raising the minimum wages, by providing equal education to all, and more
ReplyDeleteGender equality is more than a goal in itself. It is a precondition for meeting the challenge of reducing poverty, promoting sustainable development and building good governance.

ReplyDeleteSustainable development is a development that takes place without harming the natural resources. It is needed because our future generation is depended on it. There are 17 goals which are to be achieved for Sustainable development such as to put an end to poverty, ensure healthy lives and promote well being for all ages, reduce inequality within and among the countries so and so on.
ReplyDeleteThe priority action on poverty eradication should include improving access to sustainable livelihoods, entrepreneurial opportunities and productive resources
ReplyDeleteSustainable Development Goals or SDGs are very important for a vast country like India, due to its growing popularity as well due to its growing population, we need to take care of our present generations as well as we need to save the resources for the future generations. Mahatma Gandhi said, "There is enough for everybody's need not enough for everybody's greed". This statement is practically true, therefore we need to have SDGs for a country like ours.
ReplyDeletesudtainable development is a development which takes place without sacrifising the needs of future generation. as we know that water is 71% present on earth. but there is only 3% fresh water on earth. In this year we saw that a state or city of south africa known as capetown faced a problem of water. there was no water left in the city. so we all are citizens of india and we should. make india clean and green. to overcome the problem related to water we should plant more and more trees
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting that developing countries, with China and India perhaps in the lead, where the future of the global environment will be decided are now on board with the case for sustainable development.
ReplyDeleteSustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
ReplyDeleteSustainable development is the need of the hour.The ways in which we are depleting our environment day by day will prove fatal for us only in future.Through these SDG's we can contribute our best towards protecting our environment .These steps gives us a framework to our pathways to achive our aim and make it a SRTIDE by 2030. Beacuse these are some possible ways by which we can give our future a new clean face and our forward generation an era of happiness,joy and a high standard of living.
ReplyDeletein today's life sustainable development needs to be more and more.
ReplyDeleteMost people in the rich nations have most of these needs, but there are still many people living in poverty and in poor quality homes. Even if these basic needs are met there are still plenty of ways in which their ‘quality of life’ is under threat: from crime, from pollution, or from living in neighbourhoods where no-one in authority seems to care.
