Sustainable Development Goals

Goals 6 - 10
What are SDGs!?
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all
United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared
blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now
and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by
all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership.
They recognize 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.

 GOAL 6
Ensure availability and sustainable
management of water and sanitation for all.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY SDG GOAL 6:-
SDG 6 calls for ensuring universal access to safe and
affordable drinking water, sanitation and hygiene, and
ending open defecation. It also aims to improve water
quality and water-use efficiency and to encourage
sustainable abstractions and supply of freshwater.While
substantial progress has been made in increasing access to
clean drinking water and sanitation, billions of
people—mostly in rural areas—still lack these basic services.
IMPORTANCE OF GOAL 6:-
Sustainable management of water resources and access to
safe water and sanitation are essential for unlocking
economic growth and productivity, and provide significant
leverage for existing investments in health and education.
The natural environment e.g. forests, soils and wetlands
contributes to management and regulation of water
availability and water quality, strengthening the resilience of
watersheds and complementing investments in physical
infrastructure and institutional and regulatory
arrangements for water access, use and disaster
preparedness.
 Water shortages undercut food security and the
incomes of rural farmers while improving water
management makes national economies, the
agriculture and food sectors more resilient to rainfall
variability and able to fulfil the needs of growing
population. Protecting and restoring water-related
ecosystems and their biodiversity can ensure water
purification and water quality standards.
INDICATORS

Sustainable Development Goal 6 goes beyond drinking water,

sanitation and hygiene to also address the quality and
sustainability of water resources, which are critical to the
survival of people and the planet. The 2030 Agenda
recognizes the centrality of water resources to sustainable
development and the vital role that improved drinking water,
sanitation and hygiene play in progress in other areas,
including health, education and poverty reduction.
Goal -7
Ensure access to affordable, reliable,
sustainable and modern energy for all.
Importance of Clean Energy

Modern society depends on reliable and affordable energy services to

function smoothly and to develop equitably. A well-established
energy system supports all sectors from medicine and education to
agriculture, infrastructure, communications and high-technology.
Intensive development patterns have historically relied on
inexpensive and energy-dense fossil fuels, which also happen to be
the primary source of greenhouse gas emissions contributing to
climate change. However, new, clean technologies are available that
can reorient development along a more sustainable trajectory.
 Progress
Despite progress, there are still over 700 million people globally living in the dark and 2.4
billion cooking with harmful and polluting fuels. Although the use of renewable energy
and energy efficiency has improved, progress is not fast enough to achieve Sustainable
Development Goal 7. The war in Ukraine is driving up global energy prices and increasing
energy insecurity in Europe. To respond to the energy crisis, some European countries plan
to speed up the transition to renewables and increase investments in renewables and
energy efficiency, while some other countries plan to bring about a resurgence of coal,
putting the green transition at risk.

DECENT WORK AND
ECONOMIC GROWTH
DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH
PROMOTE SUSTAINED, INCLUSIVE AND SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC GROWTH,
FULL AND PRODUCTIVE EMPLOYMENT AND DECENT WORK FOR ALL.

Sustained and economic growth is a

prerequisite for sustainable development,
which can contribute to improved livelihoods
for people around the world. Economic growth
can lead to new and better employment
opportunities and provide greater economic
security for all. Moreover, rapid growth,
especially among the least developed and
developing countries, can help them reduce
the wage gap relative to developed countries,
thereby diminishing glaring inequalities
between the rich and poor.
DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH
THE VIRUS WAS PERNICIOUS

COVID-19 has disrupted billions of lives and endangered

the global economy. Even before the outbreak of
COVID-19, one in five countries – home to billions of people
living in poverty – were likely to see per capita incomes
stagnate or decline in 2020. Now, the economic and
financial shocks associated with COVID-19—such as
disruptions to industrial production, falling commodity
prices, financial market volatility, and rising insecurity—are
derailing the already tepid economic growth and
compounding heightened risks from other factors.
 DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH
ENVIRONMENT
Preserving the environment is key to support sustainable economic growth as the
natural environment plays an important role in supporting economic activities. It
contributes directly, by providing resources and raw materials such as water,
timber and minerals that are required as inputs for the production of goods and
services; and indirectly, through services provided by ecosystems including
carbon sequestration, water purification, managing flood risks, and nutrient
cycling.

`Natural` disasters directly affect economic activities leading to very high

economic losses throwing many households into poverty. Maintaining
ecosystems and mitigating climate change can therefore have a great positive
impact on countries` economic and employment sectors

Goal - 9
Industry, Innovation, and
Infrastructure
Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable
industrialization and foster innovation
Sustainable Development Goal 9 seeks to build resilient
infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable
industrialisation and foster innovation. This SDG encompasses
three important aspects of sustainable development:
infrastructure, industrialisation and innovation. Infrastructure
provides the basic physical systems and structures essential to
the operation of a society or enterprise. Industrialisation drives
economic growth, creates job opportunities and thereby
reduces income poverty. Innovation advances the technological
capabilities of industrial sectors and prompts the development
of new skills. Inclusive and sustainable industrial development is
the primary source of income generation, allows for rapid and
sustained increases in living standards for all people, and
provides the technological solutions needed for environmentally
sound industrialisation.
CHALLENGES
The COVID-19 pandemic outlined the universal need for global manufacturing. This is
considered an engine of overall economic growth and has been steadily declining. The
manufacturing decline caused by the pandemic has resulted in serious impacts on the
global economy. In addition, the airport industry, also an important driver of economic
development, faced the steepest decline in its history in the first five months of 2020,
with a 51 per cent drop in airline passengers due to the global lockdowns. Basic
infrastructure like roads, information and communication technologies, sanitation,
electrical power and water remains scarce in many developing countries.

TARGETS "Everyone can help to make sure that we meet the Global Goals"

Develop Promote Increase Upgrade all Enhance

sustainable, inclusive and access to industries and research and
resilient and sustainable financial infrastructures upgrade
inclusive industrialization services for industrial
infrastructures and sustainability technologies

 Role of Technology
Technologies can play a central role in the achievement of the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A critical component of
economic growth and development is the investment in
infrastructure and innovation. It is estimated that over half of the
world's population is living in cities, making infrastructure
development and innovation in mass transport and renewable
energy very critical.
Construction for change
Construction for Change is a nonprofit construction management organization. We
partner with NGOs and government ministries to build quality spaces where people thrive.
Because we are a nonprofit, we care about the lasting impact on partner communities. We
value sourcing materials locally, employing the community, and stimulating the local
economy. This organization works with builders and architects to create a systematic and
sustainable structure that meets the needs of the local organization.
Goal -10
Reduce Inequality within & among
countries
 Inequalities
Reducing inequalities and ensuring no one is left behind are integral to achieving the Sustainable
Development Goals.

Inequality within and among countries is a persistent cause for concern. Despite some positive
signs toward reducing inequality in some dimensions, such as reducing relative income inequality
in some countries and preferential trade status benefiting lower-income countries,inequality still
persists
 COVID has added !

Covid-19 has deepened existing inequalities hitting the poorest and most vulnerable communities the
hardest. It has put a spotlight on economic inequalities and fragile social safety nets that leave
vulnerable communities to bear the brunt of the crisis. At the same time, social, political and economic
inequalities have amplified the impacts of the pandemic.

On the economic front, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased global unemployment and
dramatically slashed workers’ incomes.
COVID-19 also puts at risk the limited progress that has been made on gender
equality and women’s rights over the past decades. Across every sphere, from
health to the economy, security to social protection, the impacts of COVID-19 are
exacerbated for women and girls simply by virtue of their sex.

Inequalities are also deepening for vulnerable populations in countries with weaker
health systems and those facing existing humanitarian crises. Refugees and migrants,
as well as indigenous peoples, older persons, people with disabilities and children are
particularly at risk of being left behind. And hate speech targeting vulnerable groups is
rising.
