INTRODUCTION
• Welcome to this presentation on the relationship between
human rights and sustainable development. In today's
world, we face many challenges, from poverty and
inequality to climate change and environmental
degradation. It is becoming increasingly clear that these
challenges are interconnected and that we need to address
them in a holistic way.
• Human rights and sustainable development are two
concepts that are closely linked. Human rights are
fundamental to achieving sustainable development, and
sustainable development is essential for the realization of
human rights. In this presentation, we will explore the
relationship between these two concepts and why it is
important to discuss this relationship.
WHAT IS HUMAN RIGHTS?
• Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms that
belong to every person in the world, regardless of
their nationality, race, gender, religion, or any other
status. These rights are enshrined in international law,
such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,
and are protected by governments and other
institutions around the world.
• Human rights are important because they ensure that
every person has the right to live with dignity,
freedom, equality, and justice. They protect us from
discrimination, violence, and oppression, and give us
the power to participate in decisions that affect our
lives
What is 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. It is about finding a
balance between economic growth, social
development, and environmental protection.
• Sustainable development is important because it
ensures that we can continue to develop and
improve our lives without causing irreparable
harm to the planet. It promotes a more equitable
and just society, where everyone has access to
basic necessities like food, water, and healthcare.
