 SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

What is Sustainable Development?

➢ Sustainable development can be defined in a variety of ways, but at its root, it

refers to a method of development that seeks to balance many, often conflicting needs
against a recognition of our society's environmental, social, and economic constraints. In
short, it’s defined as a development that meets some current requirements because it
sustaining the ability of natural systems to provide the natural resources and ecosystem
services on which the economy and society depend, while not jeopardizing future
generations' ability to meet their own."

What are the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?

➢ Sustainable Development Goals can also be seen as a blueprint to achieve a
better and more sustainable future for all of us. And here, let us introduce to you the 17
SDG’s.

Goal 1: No Poverty.
➢ One of the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development
Goals, introduced in 2015, asks for the abolition of all types of
poverty. Member countries have promised to "Leave No One

such as a lack of food, safe drinking water, and adequate
sanitation. Finding answers to new challenges posed by climate
change and conflict are all part of achieving this aim.

What are your Top 3 SDGs?

1. Goal 4: Quality Education

• We’ve chosen Quality Education, because if we’re going to relate it to our Local
matter which is The Philippines. It is a perfect one to tackled due to the DepEd’s quality
when it comes to Schedule, Facilities, Subjects and Grading system. We do not have
enough knowledge and insights regarding that, like how it works. But our question is will
the education system here in the Philippines be further developed? That’s why we
choose this, and one thing we know is that majority of the students are having a bad
experiencing in terms of education so, we need some development here.

2. Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth

• We choose this because, Unemployment has been one of the major problems
here in the Philippines that is constantly rising especially now that we are in the middle
of pandemic. maybe due to overpopulation, or oversupply of labor force on certain
industries and because of the high standard’s required by some companies. Yet,
generally the Filipinos has been given a low-quality education connected to poverty
which has been the reason for choosing work over education. Now, we’re stuck in this
kind of Economic Growth where we cannot modernize anymore.

3. Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure

• SDG goal number 9, to introduce a smart and tough establishment since most of
the properties here in the Philippines are unreliable and made from low quality materials
and it is unsafe especially when it comes to disaster and calamity.
When is the right time for you to contribute to the SDGs?

➢ As a first-year college in STI, one of the best thing we have experienced here is
to understand and to have enough knowledge regarding this sustainable development
goals in our first term. We became immediately open to such matters, and we think that
this is the right time for us to contribute in SDG, because we believe you don’t have to
be professional first to participate, as long as you have enough knowledge, and can
discern economic and social problems or issue, you have eagerness or willingness to be
part of this advocacy, that is the right time for you to contribute in the sustainable
development goals by doing even some simple things. You should ask yourself, If not
now then when?

How can you support the SDGs?

➢ We believe that anyone can make a crucial contribution for a positive social
change. We see individual’s commitment and undying hope as a unique level for this.
We all just need to take responsibility for our actions.
And as we said, we can contribute or support SDG’s by doing simple things such as,
promote any advocacy that aims to advance the sustainable development goals
especially using media because apart from being convenient, netizens are active there
24/7.

Or learn to practice some simple things at home like, switching off lights and unplugging
standby appliances when not being use, hanging clothes to dry instead of using a drier,
these are some of the ways to save energy and reduce carbon emissions.

We can also choose to use reusable and eco-friendly alternatives instead of Single-use
products, particularly plastic ones, because it tends to end up in a landfill and through
ocean, causing harm to our environment and wildlife. These things actively work to
accelerate the achievement of SDG, to “access to affordable, reliable, and sustainable
energy for all,” this positively impacts 12 of the 17 goals.

Start Embracing this Sustainable Development Goals and educate our friends,
colleagues, and families on these Global Goals.
