    Sustainable Development Goals

    What are the Sustainable Development Goals?


    In 2015, the United Nations general assembly agreed on 17 Global Goals called the
    Sustainable Development Goals. These goals are intended to better the world in a variety
    of ways and are meant to be achieved by 2030.

    What are the 17 SDGs?


    Sweet SDGs
    You and an assigned partner will be given a sustainable development goal to research.
    Your job is to convince the rest of the class that your goal is the most important one to
    focus the world on. You will have fifteen minutes to research and plan what you are going
    to say. You and your partner have up to two minutes to convince the class. The winner will
    receive extra credit!

    Resources:
    1. Comic Version of the Goals
    2. UN Goals Page
    3. SDG Tracker

    Record your research and planning in the box below. Your argument should tell us what
    the goal is, two main reasons why it is important and one reason it is more important than
    the one you are going up against.
    ***first going up against Goal 15.

    - As of right now, 8.9% of the world population (which is 690 million people) are
    starving. These numbers are expected to increase to 840 million by 2030 without
    immense action.

    - Hunger is the primary cause of death within the world right now.

    - Developing technology to increase the amount of food expands our knowledge of


    genetics and allows us to apply this development towards the other sustainable
    goals.

    - Goal 2 intends to increase food security, decrease global hunger, construct


    sustainable agriculture, and improve nutrition all over the world. (promoting
    sustainable agriculture helps solve the current climate problem, clashing with
    Goal 13)

    - Goal 1 cannot be achieved without Goal 2. It is better to take things into steps
    first, as you cannot pull people out of poverty without pulling them out of
    starvation first.

    - In reality, Goal 2 is more important than all of the goals present, due to the fact
    that it either serves as a prerequisite for another goal, or it is simply more
    important due to its immense impact on life. When voting, the class ought to
    weigh which goal has the most impact on human life that is currently suffering,
    and to what extent this impact carries.

    Scripted Speech: (things to reference)

    Most people within this classroom likely have access to food on a daily basis. 690 million
    people within this world do not. They go days without eating, weeks with only
    consuming minimal portions of food the privilege eats as a snack. Due to this basis and
    countless others, Goal 2 out of the 17 Sustainable Development goals upholds
    superiority. This goal intends to increase food security, decrease global hunger,
    construct sustainable agriculture, and improve nutrition all over the world.

    By not prioritizing this, these hunger rates are expected to increase to 840 million by
    2030 without immense action. 10% of the entire world population. With that, ending
    hunger has the greatest impact on human life when compared to all other goals in this
    list. Its impacts outweigh. Additionally, this goal is of utmost significance as it serves as
    a prerequisite towards numerous other stated goals.

    Consider Goal 15, which desires to promote sustainable use of ecosystems, lower land
    degradation, combat desertification, etc. By promoting sustainable agriculture to lower
    hunger rates, we achieve what Goal 15 desires with the plus of saving lives. Sustainable
    agriculture accounts for the life on land, as well as the lives within society. Thus, vote
    for Goal 2.

    Reflection
    Which SDG won in your class period? Do you agree that SDG is the most important one to
    focus on? Why or why not? How do you feel about your knowledge of the SDGs after this
    activity?

    SDG #6 won within my class, which is access to clean water and sanitation. I do believe
    that this is a very important goal to focus on, and it ranks high in comparison to all of the
    other SGDs present within this list. This is because of the fact that it is a basic human
    right, and we require water in order to live. However, I do not feel as if it is the most
    important out of the 17, due to the fact that it is not as specific as other goals, such as SDG
    #3, good health and wellbeing, as well as #13, which is climate change. These other goals
    impact the entire population. After this activity, however, my knowledge on SDGs has
    expanded. It is interesting how a lot of these goals tend to overlap and include each other.
    I better understand the intention of SDGs now.
