    Good afternoon everybody! Are we still okay?

    By the way, I am Amanda Marie Hora 2 nd year


    student of BS in Accountancy and let me continue the discussion.
    Having the knowledge about sustainable development, let us look on the timeline of the
    transition of development goals.
    Rio Earth Summit 1992
    Earth Summit 1992 produced the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, the
    Statement of Forest Principles, and Agenda 21. The Earth Summit also led to the establishment
    of the Convention on Biological Diversity, and the United Nations Framework Convention on
    Climate Change (UNFCCC).
    NSDS1 1999
    National Skills Development Strategy
    MDG 2015
    Millennium Development Goals are the international community's most broadly shared,
    comprehensive and focused framework for reducing poverty. Drawn from the Millennium Declaration,
    adopted and agreed to by all Governments in 2000, the MDGs represent the commitments of United
    Nations Member States to reduce extreme poverty and its many manifestations: hunger, disease,
    gender inequality, lack of education and access to basic infrastructure, and environmental
    degradation.
    EU Accession 2007
    The accession of the European Union to the Convention denotes the process whereby
    the European Union will join the community of 47 European states which have entered a legal
    undertaking to comply with the Convention and have agreed to supervision of their compliance
    by the European Court of Human Rights.
    NSDS2 2008
    National Skills Development Strategy
    Interministerial Committee 2011
    Inter-ministerial Committee for Sustainable Development is a high political decision-making
    body, integrating all environment/development aspects implementing the MDG. This way, the
    NFPs are part of a technical and political coordinating mechanism, therefore ensuring the
    cooperation of the three NFPs with regard to the synergic implementation of RC within the wider
    context of achieving MDGs. The recommendations are being currently analysed by the host
    ministry in view of further institutionalization of the proposed mechanism.
    Rio + 20 2012
    The United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development - or Rio+20 - took place in Rio de
    Janeiro, Brazil on 20-22 June 2012. It resulted in a focused political outcome document which
    contains clear and practical measures for implementing sustainable development.
    In Rio, Member States decided to launch a process to develop a set of Sustainable
    Development Goals (SDGs), which will build upon the Millennium Development Goals and
    converge with the post 2015 development agenda.

    2015 TIME FOR GLOBAL ACTION


    The United Nations has launched the campaign 2015 Time for Global Action as this presents
    a historic and unprecedented opportunity to bring the countries and citizens of the world
    together to decide and embark on new pathways forward and improve the lives of people
    everywhere. These decisions will determine the global course of action to end poverty, promote
    prosperity and well-being for all, protect the environment and address climate change.
    2030 AGENDA FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT (SDGs)
    The Sustainable Development Goals or Global Goals are a collection of 17 interlinked global
    goals designed to be a "blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all". The
    SDGs were set in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly and are intended to be
    achieved by the year 2030. 
    AGENDA 41
    A process that aims to integrate the social, environmental, and economic aspects of
    development in order that all future development is 'sustainable'. It has 3 objectives mainly:

     Improve the living standards of those in need


     Better manage and protect the ecosystem
     Bring about a more prosperous future for all
    Just like other agendas, it also faced some challenges. The agenda…

     Did not address the interconnectedness of the various goals with sectoral and inter-
    country outcomes.
    As a recap…
    The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
    Are eight goals with measurable targets and clear deadlines for improving the lives of the
    world's poorest people. To meet these goals and eradicate poverty, leaders of 189 countries
    signed the historic millennium declaration at the United Nations Millennium Summit in 2000. At
    that time, eight goals that range from providing universal primary education to avoiding child and
    maternal mortality were set with a target achievement date of 2015.
    Goal 1: Eradicate extreme hunger and poverty
    The programme areas targeted by this goal are the Children, food, security, and nutrition,
    Culture and Development, and conflict prevention and peacebuilding
    Goal 2: To achieve universal primary education
    This is to to "ensure that by 2015, children everywhere, boys and girls alike will be required to
    complete a full course of primary schooling."
    Goal 3: To promote gender equality and empower women
    The programme areas targeted by this goal are the Gender equality and women’s
    empowerment, Culture and Development and Conflict Prevention and Peace building
    Goal 4: To reduce child mortality
    This requires more rapid scale up of key effective, affordable interventions: care for newborns
    and their mothers; infant and young child feeding; vaccines; prevention and case management
    of pneumonia, diarrhea; malaria control; and prevention and care of HIV/AIDS.
    Goal 5: To improve maternal health
     It is considered as key to saving the lives of more than half a million women who die as a result
    of complications from pregnancy and childbirth each year. Investing in better maternal health
    not only improves a mother’s health and that of her family, but also increases the number of
    women in the workforce and promotes the economic well-being of communities and countries. 
    Now, my friend Lawrence will continue the rest of the MDGs.
