SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Sustainable Development means Development without
damaging the environment
The three advantages of sustainable development are as follows:
1.It helps in ensuring a better life for present and future
generations.
2.Lowers the impact on the environment by reducing air, water and
soil pollution.
3. Helps in achieving long term economic growth.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or Global Goals are a
collection of 17 interlinked global goals
The goals are designed as “blueprint to achieve a better and more
sustainable future for all".
It is Supported by United Nation & Owned by community
It Recognises that ending poverty and other deprivations must go
hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education,
reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling
climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL 11: Sustainable Cities And
Communities
Mission Statement: “Make cities and human settlements inclusive,
safe, resilient, and sustainable"
Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11 is about making “cities and
human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.” It is one
of the 17 SDGs in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The goal says cities should ensure access to safe and affordable housing,
public transportation, and public green spaces. It states that cities
should be resilient to natural disasters and protect those in vulnerable
situations while also minimising economic loss.
Targets:
By 2030, ensure access for all to adequate, safe and affordable
housing and basic services and upgrade slums
By 2030, provide access to safe, affordable, accessible and
sustainable transport systems for all, improving road safety,
notably by expanding public transport, with special attention to
the needs of those in vulnerable situations, women, children,
persons with disabilities and older persons
By 2030, enhance inclusive and sustainable urbanisation and
capacity for participatory, integrated and sustainable human
settlement planning and management in all countries
Strengthen efforts to protect and safeguard the world’s cultural
and natural heritage
By 2030, significantly reduce the number of deaths and the
number of people affected and substantially decrease the direct
economic losses relative to global gross domestic product caused
by disasters, including water-related disasters, with a focus on
protecting the poor and people in vulnerable situations
By 2030, reduce the adverse per capita environmental impact of
cities, including by paying special attention to air quality and
municipal and other waste management
By 2030, provide universal access to safe, inclusive and accessible,
green and public spaces, in particular for women and children,
older persons and persons with disabilities
2
Support positive economic, social and environmental links
between urban, peri-urban and rural areas by strengthening
national and regional development planning
Substantially increase the number of cities and human
settlements adopting and implementing integrated policies and
plans towards inclusion, resource efficiency, mitigation and
adaptation to climate change, resilience to disasters, and develop
and implement, in line with the Sendai Framework for Disaster
Risk Reduction 2015-2030, holistic disaster risk management at all
levels
Support least developed countries, including through financial and
technical assistance, in building sustainable and resilient buildings
Utilising local materials
Sustainable Goals 12: Responsible consumption and production
Sustainable Consumption and Production (known as SCP) is about
doing more and better with less. It is also about decoupling
economic growth from environmental degradation, increasing
resource efficiency and promoting sustainable lifestyles.
Sustainable consumption and production refers to “the use of
services and related products, which respond to basic needs and
bring a better quality of life while minimising the use of natural
resources and toxic materials as well as the emissions of waste
and pollutants over the life cycle of the service or product so as
not to jeopardise the needs of future generations”.
Targets:
Successfully implement the proposed 10-year guideline of
programs on sustainable production and consumption, with every
country taking action to their best capacity.
Achieve the efficient use and sustainable management of all
natural resources by 2030.
Reduce universal food waste in the consumer and retail levels and
also lessen food losses in supply chains and production, including
losses related to post-harvesting.
3
Achieve the eco-friendly management of chemical waste
throughout its life cycle, based on determined global frameworks,
and considerably reduce their pollution of soil, water, and air to
reduce their negative effects on our environment and human
health.
Profoundly lower the generation of waste through recycling,
reuse, prevention and reduction.
Encourage companies, particularly large transnational
organisations, to use sustainable practices like integrating
sustainability data in their reports.
Promote sustainable public procurement policies, in line with
national priorities and policies.
Ensure that everyone in the world has awareness and relevant
knowledge of sustainable lifestyles as well as development in
agreement with nature.
Support developing nations to increase their technological and
scientific capacity so as to start moving towards sustainable
production and consumption patterns.
Develop and adopt tools for monitoring effects of sustainable
development for a more sustainable tourism, which creates
employment opportunities and promotes the local products and
culture.
Streamline inefficient subsidies for fossil fuels that promote
wasteful consumption through eliminating market distortions,
based on the national context, including through phasing out the
harmful subsidies and restructuring taxation.
