Environment Science Practical-1

Name- Bharti Goel Roll no.- 0997 Course- Economics Honours

Principle-

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or Global Goals are a collection of 17


interlinked objectives designed to serve as a "shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for
people and the planet, now and into the future".

● The SDGs emphasize the interconnected environmental, social and economic aspects of
sustainable development by putting sustainability at their centre.

● Each goal typically has 8–12 targets, and each target has between one and four indicators
used to measure progress toward reaching the targets. The targets are either "outcome"
targets(circumstances to be attained) or "means of implementation" targets.

● The latter targets were introduced late in the process of negotiating the SDGs to address
the concern of some Member States about how the SDGs were to be achieved. Goal 17 is
wholly about how the SDGs will be achieved.

● To achieve sustainable development, three aspects or dimensions need to come together:


The economic, socio-political, and environmental dimensions are all critically important
and interdependent.

● Progress will require multidisciplinary and trans-disciplinary research across all three
sectors. This proves difficult when major governments fail to support it.

● Sustainable development can enhance sectoral integration and social inclusion (robust
evidence, high agreement). Inclusion merits attention because equity within and across
countries is critical to transitions that are not simply rapid but also sustainable and just.

● Resource shortages, social divisions, inequitable distributions of wealth, poor


infrastructure and limited access to advanced technologies can constrain the options and
capacities for developing countries to achieve sustainable and just transitions (medium
evidence, high agreement).

● According to the UN, the target is to reach the community farthest behind. Commitments
should be transformed into effective actions requiring a correct perception of target
populations. Data or information must address all vulnerable groups such as children,
elderly folks, persons with disabilities, refugees, indigenous peoples, migrants, and
internally displaced persons.

● The objective of this practical is to compare the achievement of SDGs between different
countries. Students will be trained in data analysis and interpreting secondary data. Students
will be divided into groups and the data for indicators will be distributed among groups.
Some of these Sustainable Development Goals are-.

SDG 1: Life on Land

• Goal: Protect, restore, and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, manage
forests sustainably, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, and halt
biodiversity loss.
• Focus: Protect forests, combat desertification, restore degraded lands, and halt
biodiversity loss.

SDG 2: Quality Education

• Goal: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning
opportunities for all.
• Focus: Provide free, equitable, and quality primary and secondary education and
eliminate disparities in education access.

SDG 3: Decent Work and Economic Growth

• Goal: Promote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and
productive employment, and decent work for all.
• Focus: Achieve higher levels of economic productivity, reduce unemployment,
promote entrepreneurship, and ensure decent working conditions and labour rights.

According to the latest NITI Aayog SDG India Index which has found while places such as
Kerala and Uttarakhand consistently top the overall performance in SDG rankings, Delhi
features on the list of top performers of Union Territories, while Bihar is one of the states
with the lowest score.

Measures taken by India to meet the social development goals –

India’s efforts to meet the SDGs are coordinated by the NITI Aayog, the policy think tank of
the government. India has been actively working towards the achievement of SDGs across
all dimensions of social, environmental, and economic aspects. The different government,
civil society, and private sector efforts are now geared towards achieving the set targets of
SDGs by 2030. Here is a comprehensive overview of some key measures India has taken
concerning all various SDGs:

SDG 1: Life on Land

• Green India Mission: It will focus on increasing forest cover, restoration of


ecological systems, and scope to biodiversity.
• Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority: These
promote afforestation/ regeneration of degraded forests.

SDG 2: Quality Education

• The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, or SSA: a flagship program initiating the


universalization of elementary education for all children in the 6-14 years age
group.
• Samagra Shiksha: It aims to improve school education from pre-primary to senior
secondary levels.
• Digital India: This promotes the use of technology in education through online
learning platforms and e-learning, such as DIKSHA and Swayam.

SDG 3: Decent Work and Economic Growth

• Skill India Mission: It focuses on offering vocational training as well as


developing skill levels among people in an attempt to boost employment
opportunities, mainly for youth.
• Start-up India: focuses on entrepreneurship by giving fiscal as well as regulatory
ease to start-ups. It promotes entrepreneurship and also provides fiscal and
regulatory easiness to start-ups.
• Make in India: focuses on developing manufacturing and jobs from sectors such as
electronics, textiles, and automobiles.

Conclusion-

In conclusion, the social development goals are an all-encompassing framework for the
delivery of all the world's biggest challenges: poverty, inequality, environmental
degradation, and economic instability. Such development will require international
cooperation, inclusive policies, as well as the commitment of everybody toward sustainable
practices across all sectors. India has shown very good commitment, with immense
progress toward the achievement of the SDGs, but conscious concerted efforts across all
sectors will be necessary to meet the 2030 targets. The new emphasis on partnerships,
innovation, and policy reform will drive the country toward working out its social,
economic, and environmental issues.
