SDG REFLECTION

Sustainable Development is a common goal on a global scale; it requires common effort


of all nations to achieve sustainable use of natural resources and prosperity for all
people. Sustainable Development is about the future of people; the economy should,
within the planetary boundaries, work for society to deliver prosperity and equity, now
and for future generations. One of many reasons why SDG is important is because it is
a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people
enjoy peace and prosperity. It helps in the sustainable management of means and
resources. It also helps to ensure a bright future for the future generation and it focuses
on the environment conservation. The issues of sustainability are modern and very
topical, as they are an inevitable precondition for the future existence of humankind.
Their solution is coming to the fore especially in the latest period when cumulated
environmental problems (such as the exhausting of natural resources, deteriorating
quality of the environment, threat to biodiversity, impairment of the landscape stability,
growth of negative psychosocial phenomena etc.) outgrow a purely ecological
framework and become existential (i.e. the existential substance of mankind is
endangered at present). For sustainable development, factors such as preserving the
environment and natural resources along with maintaining social and economic equality
need to be followed. People should always remember that this concept is not new, it
has been followed by many cultures over the course of history with an aim of
maintaining a balance between man and nature as well as economy. Sustainable
development looks to create a balance between the economic, environmental and
social needs.
