2. What is Sustainability?
Sustainability has often been defined as how
biological systems endure and remain diverse and
productive. But, the 21st-century definition of
sustainability goes far beyond these narrow
parameters. Today, it refers to the need to
develop the sustainable models necessary for
both the human race and planet Earth to survive.
sustainable development meets the
needs of the present without
compromising the well-being of future
generations.

4. Introducing the SDGs
The Sustainable Development Goals
17 GOALS

5. The SDGs are …
➤ A set of 17 goals for the world’s future, through 2030
➤ Backed up by a set of 169 detailed Targets
➤ Negotiated over a two-year period at the United Nations
➤ Agreed to by nearly all the world’s nations, on 25 Sept
2015

6. What is new and different
about the 17 SDGs?
First, and most important, these Goals apply to every nation …
and every sector. Cities, businesses, schools, organizations, all
are challenged to act. This is called
Universality

7. Second, it is recognized that the Goals are all inter-connected, in
a system. We cannot aim to achieve just one Goal. We must
achieve them all. This is called
Integration

8. And finally, it is widely recognized that achieving these Goals
involves making very big, fundamental changes in how we live on
Earth. This is called
Transformation

9. Let’s take a tour …

10. #1: End
poverty in all
its forms
everywhere

11. #2: End hunger, achieve food security and improved
nutrition

12. #2: End hunger, achieve food security and improved
nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture
#3: Ensure
healthy lives
and promote
well-being for
all at all ages

13. #4: Ensure
inclusive and
quality
education for all
and promote
lifelong learning

14. #5: Achieve
gender
equality and
empower
women and
girls

water and sanitation
for all

the global
partnership for
sustainable
development

27. Each goal
is
important
in itself …

28. Each goal
is
important
in itself …
And they
are all
connected

30. FOOD, RESOURCE & LIVELIHOOD
Indian agriculture production systems are pre-dominantly
small scale, resources scarce & face tremendous pressure in
terms of livelihood dependence and cater to the food and
nutrition needs of the entire population.
 Advances in agricultural science and technology have
contributed to remarkable increases in food
production since the mid-twentieth century.
 Water management is another major challenge. Agriculture
accounts for 70 per cent of all water taken from aquifers,
streams, rivers and lakes. To meet projected demands, the
efficiency of water use (crop produced 'per drop') will need
to improve in both irrigated and rained zones.
 Use of organic food

31. Housing is primarily an energy and resource intensive sector. There is an
imperative growing demand to find sustainable housing solution that will
not lead to a disproportionate increase in carbon emissions and resources
use due to production, transportation and disposal of materials.
 Implementing green practices into your home or office can help reduce
waste, conserve natural resources, improve both air and water quality,
and protect ecosystems and biodiversity.
 Green systems and materials reduce energy consumption, which in turn
reduce your energy bills. They also increase asset value and profits and
decrease marketing time; making your dollar go further for longer.
 Green building isn't just good for the environment; it's also good for
YOU. Sustainable design and technology enhance a resident's overall
quality of life by improving air and water quality and reducing noise
pollution.

32. Climate change is already causing erratic weather events across the world. Prime hazards for the water, sanitation,
and Hygiene (WASH) sector would be experienced through erratic weather events, increased frequency of droughts,
flash floods and heat waves.
Its impact will adversely affect quality & availability of drinking water, critical infrastructure and hygiene & sanitation
service.
 Government plan should be strengthen
 Increase resilience in children and women
 Proper education about hazards and environmental degradation
 Use of natural resources and limiting the use of petroleum, polythene bags.
 Lessen the carbon foot print
 Strategic Industrialization
 Proper utilization of land and its resources

36. When you consider using solar
solution as a replacement for
mains electrical supply, it is
important to know the differences
and capabilities of solar power
systems compared to mains or
grid-fed electricity.
