Sustain the development

 

In today’s world, development is what every continent, every country and every citizen urges for. The development of technology, society and mankind is actually necessary with time. We destroy the provided resources and take them for granted. We need to understand that the resources are limited and will end one day resulting in the end of the living beings. We are fully dependent on them and the “development” will be of no use when we won’t survive. The United Nations held a conference at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2012, and introduced the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In simple language sustainable development basically means using the provided resources wisely and according to our needs, thereby preserving them for our future generations.

 

There are 17 SDGs which include no poverty, zero hunger, quality education, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, etc. Our school takes initiative in practicing sustainability in development and has received the third goal from the SDGs which is ensuring good health and well being for all and of all ages. This also includes a bold commitment to end the epidemics of AIDS, TB, malaria and other communicable diseases by 2030.

 

 The third goal takes up a set of targets which are as follows:

  •   Reduction of maternal mortality.
  •  Reduction of infant mortality rate.
  •   Promoting mental health.
  •  Reducing road injuries and deaths.
  •  Preventing and treating substance abuse.
  •  Grant universal access to sexual and reproductive healthcare and promote family planning education.
  • Reducing deaths due to pollution and tobacco.

We need to come together and help promote these sustainable development goals for a better present and future. If we won’t, then no one will. To start off with the initiative, begin with your home and educate your family regarding the seriousness of the matter. Make people aware people about how hazardous the surroundings will become if we don’t do something. We have taken a lot from mother earth, now its time to pay our part of the debt. Lets not punish the future generations for what we have done.

Our well being is in Our hands,

Now its high time we need to take a stance,

Protect the planet, for us and for other species,

We all belong to the same world, let us co-exist in harmony.
