EMPHASIZING SGD
21. CRITICISMS ON
SDG
There are only 34 out
169 targets from the
17 goals are
quantifiable.
Reduction efforts should
be replaced by
elimination on the
problem of poverty and
unemployment.
Since this is a global goal
every nation, including the
richest and developing
economies must make its
own targets and agenda.
FAR WIDER SCOPE GOING FOR ZERO UNIVERSALITY
22. CRITICISMS ON
SDG
Aside from inequality
attentions should be
given too to other global
concerns.
High focus on sustainable
development on air,
consumption and
environmental problems
A balance of
responsibilities. Intensify
domestic policies with the
support of international
bodies.
LEAVE NO ONE
BEHIND
FOCUSED BALANCED
23. 1. According to Food and Agriculture Organization of United Nations, the
development has four dimensions and these are economic development, human
development, territorial development and sustainable development.
2. The principle of sustainable development is that development is a need that
must be practiced based on the needs of human and environment. Hence,
development efforts must consider the welfare of the future generation including
the ecological conditions.
3. For SDGs to materialize by 2030, higher level of commitments and active
participation is essential. Although fulfilling SDGs is a global partnership among
states, national governments have the ownership and authority to make and
implement national policies adhering to the objectives of SDGs.
4. There are 17 Sustainable Development Goals as part of the agency’s flagship
goal 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The mantra of “leaving no one
behind” is considered in establishing these 17 goals.
5. The SDGs was criticized for being highly demanding and transformational in
several ways.
