Opening small businesses or companies around the country in Jordan can help those who are unemployed get a job. It will help them live a good and normal life. They can afford getting all their needs without having to reach out for help or wait up on someone to get them food or any other requirements.

(I'm not sure if we were supposed to post a solution about our problem but here's my solution)
A solution for my problem of adults needing a way to have food is that grocery stores should have a system where they donate the food that's coming close to the expiration date and distribute it to the ones with no food.  To prevent legal issues, create a facility where the distribution occurs and at the same time make a contract with all of those needing the food, so they can't sue if they get sick from the food.  Upon the day of expiration you would throw out the food that wasn't distributed to prevent anyone getting sick from it.

People all around the world suffer from hunger. With the amount of food being wasted or thrown away, I do not believe world hunger should be as bad as it currently is. Solving world hunger in one day or even one year? At the moment, that is an unrealistic goal; however, I believe that we can significantly reduce the amount of people that are affected. How can we do this? For this example, let us take a look at Burundi. Burundi is the poorest country in Africa. Now, think of how private affairs are kept private through Non-Disclosure Acts. Associated parties commit to keeping business or personal affairs private. Many large companies in the U.S are obligated by the FDA to dispose of food rather than give it away due to health risks and legal concerns. This is a preemptive rule that is beneficial; however, there is a significant amount of good food that is disposed due to technicalities. I believe that if a 1st world country such as America, would create legal agreement with a country such as Burundi, then this would be extremely beneficial to the large populations in Burundi that are affected by hunger. This legal agreement would free large produce companies in the U.S of any legal risks and the responsibility would fall on Burundi to assess the food/produce for any defects or health risks. This would not be a financial burden to the U.S because this food would have been disposed of as a loss anyways and Burundi would have a chance of acquiring more good produce. I believe that this would be a "Win Win" on for both countries.

Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure have taken a mass hit due to the Covid 19 pandemic. For this reason it is crucial that we can figure out a way to improve it in countries where they need it the most. One of things we can do is to upgrade network and cell services in areas that is mostly rural. This well allow people in those areas to commutate better with employer and send information to people who need to hear it. There are many things that need to get done with it but in order to do that we need to encourage governments and company to invest in it.

No poverty (SDG 1) Team 26 Amira Khanji - Jordan

# data[].attributes.body
Jordan is among the poorest countries in the world. The absolute poverty in Jordan for all population stood at 15.7 percent in 2018, meaning that more than 1 million Jordanians live below the poverty line. This is becoming a big problem and obstacle for Jordanian people as living requirements are increasing. Not many people can afford living a high quality life and buy all they desire. A big percentage of Jordanians can't afford to buy food, clothes or even get proper education.
If you have ever been to Jordan you have probably seen many kids on the streets trying to get money by selling gum, socks, flowers or tissues just to get their parents medication or to get their family and themselves food to eat.
As Mahtma Gandhi said: "Poverty is the worst form of violence". Poverty will keep on spreading if we don't do something about it. We can try to end poverty if rich countries cooperate with each other and help poor countries.

Rama matalka, Jordan, peace justice and strong institutions (SDG 16)

# data[].attributes.body
Peace, justice and strong institutions is the basis for achieving many of the other goals like zero hunger, climate change, etc, so it is a very important goal to focus on.

We all deserve to live in a peaceful, safe world, where human rights are protected by law, and where we can rely on our governments to carry out their responsibilities, where countries work together to solve problems not starting them, so in order to do that we should start by treating everyone fairly, and having good fair laws that protect our rights as humans, strong institutions to help solving other challenges. But what about peace? How would you define peace ?. Some will define it as the absence of violence and war , others as a feeling of stability and safety , it actually depends on the person circumstances and past experiences. But not everyone in the world feel safe and secure , countries wage war on each other not knowing the outcomes of ending the lives of people who will suffer both physically and mentally by forcing them to leave their homes in search of peace , soldiers who must go to fight, wipe out the institutions we count on making life feel unstable and not peaceful. In addition, we have one more problem that should be also solved, and that is crime and the way people who do it are being punished.
Crime is a problem everywhere and it is on the rise because of what? Because people who are in charge don’t treat everyone fairly and that makes it easier  for criminals to do whatever they want and difficult for victims to get justice so citizens won’t trust their governments anymore because their voice doesn’t matter and it doesn’t make a change.
Progress in solving these problems is being made world wide not only in Jordan, but there is still much to be done, we all should work hard to promote peace and justice around the world , because we all have a role to play in helping the un reach their goal so we can all live the lives we dream of living.

All humans must have access to good health care to maintain a healthy and decent life. Although the health care sector is one of the most crucial aspects a country must prioritize, it is saddening to see many countries like Jordan not paying sufficient attention to it.

Over the past years, the health care sector in Jordan has been worsening and more people suffer more and more to get medical help for many reasons. One of which is the declining numbers of health workforce in hospitals; many medical school alumni look for jobs abroad in hopes of a better life and higher salaries. Another reason is the unbelievable amount of negligence and indifference that have prevailed the already existing workforce. Treating patients is no longer a doctor's or a nurse's priority, so they are being declined the medical care they need, and their health declines accordingly. Patients do not find any appointments to book because all schedules are full for months; even if they book one, they would have to wait in queues for several hours in pain to see a doctor, and even then they still get poor medical care. Many patients suffer more instead of improving, and many even die because of this carelessness such as the incident that occured a few months ago in one of Jordan's hospitals where electricity went off causing the ventilators to shut down, and depriving the Covid-19 patients from oxygen. People's numerous warnings about the decreasing oxygen levels were ignored and no one responded to their complaints. Unfortunately, at least 9 fighters, including children, have passed away. The whole Jordanian community as well as other countries raged upon this incident, claimed it obvious negligence, and demanded the ones in charge to be held accountable for the souls that have been lost.

The lack of medical care is a vital issue that has to be regarded and raised in Jordan and everywhere else because people are souls that have lives, families, and dreams, and not mere numbers that we lose. We pray for all those who suffered and are still suffering from Covid-19 and other illnesses and diseases, and may our deceased rest in peace.

In fact, every country has something special that makes it different from other countries, such as traditions, heritage, etc. Things that define a country and its identity and cannot be compared to any country.

But this is not the only aspect in every country, there are many sad stories, stories that you will hear about everywhere in Jordan, USA, Sudan and many other countries.

Poverty and hunger are two sides of the same coin, suffering.

Their ranking among the 17 Sustainable Development Goals comes in first and second, if that indicates anything it reflects their importance and the priority of finding solutions to them as well.

the 17 Sustainable Development Goals are like a chain that cannot be separated and if we achieve one goal, we are thus Paving the way for achieving the other goals and so on.

Poverty is not a new problem that some Jordanians suffer from. Every year, we see new statistics and expect what will happen after that.

Of course, if a person suffers from poverty, he is unable to secure his food and basic needs.

These are some of the latest statistics from Jordan:

An analysis conducted by “Al-Ghad” newspaper revealed that 825,000 Jordanians are still subjected to slipping below the poverty line since 2017, which may increase the number of poor people in Jordan who live on less than 100 dinars per month, this comes at a time when the last official statistic in 2017 showed that the number of poor Jordanians reached 1.03 million, and they constitute 15.7% of Jordanians.

Neither poverty will distinguish whether you are male or female, nor will hunger take into account whether you are old, a child or a young man.

After what we learned about empathy in the last session, I believe that the importance of empathy lies in our ability to apply it in our lives (our lives which are one of the most important parts of our society) I hope we can completely eradicate poverty and hunger.

Because everyone is equal and everyone deserves a better life.

Decades ago, the waters of the Dead Sea began to shrink. The temperature has risen, which leads to intensive water evaporation, the lack of rain, and the use of rainwater that flows into it for agricultural purposes in Jordan.

The most prominent environmental risks that resulted from the decline of the Dead Sea, the emergence of craters in the neighboring lands, where so far 66 craters have appeared, which greatly affects the facilities in those areas and life in general.

We need to show empathy with nature to increase the motivation of preserving the environment and boost sustainability not only in Jordan but the whole world.

Reduce inequalities, Zayn zaatreh   (SDG10) Jordan

Inequality is a problem that can be discussed in various ways, ranging from a denial of individual opportunity to a more structural understanding of inequality of social condition. It is something that has been happening since ages not only in my country but speaking about Jordan it’s a little bit different because Jordan is a very small country that has been built by it’s own people -certain families- that makes the society more cohesive which has its own benefits of course but, the major disadvantage is that each family is taking over a certain field making it’s people privileged by seizing all the opportunities not only but also controlling the quality of services . This Social and economic inequality increases the power of the social hierarchy (status and class) As a result, a long list of problems more common further down the social ladder, which is really bad because it’s a waste of  human capital and human potentials, people deserve to be treated equally regardless of there background, gender, race or religion.

In Jordan, there is a huge number of unemployment youth which creats a serious economic problem. In 2016 the unemployment rate in Jordan was 15.28%,in 2017  15.78%,in 2018 16.29%,in 2019 16.85%, and in 2020 18.57%, we can clearly see that the number of unemployment people is increasing which means that the country is not finding any solutions for this problem. Unemployment for youth can cause alot of problems for the country, for example the youth who can't find any job may be drug dealer just to have an income and can live, instead of this the country should offer jobs for these people
Another problem is that even employment people don't have good income because the job don't offer them a good salary that suits the living standerds in Jordan

As the world advances there are many aspects of life and luxuries that help us thrive, but not everyone can experience those aspects due to having unstainable, unreliable, or expensive sources of energy. This became even more prevalent in the face of the pandemic when the only way for many people to communicate with each other is using energy and not everyone has the same resources to make that transition. This SDG affects and is directly linked to multiple other SDGs like poverty eradication and climate action. It is estimated that 1 billion people are unable to access any sort of electricity, and are resorted to unsustainable methods for their survival. There are seen solutions with proposed nuclear energy but getting them funded has been holding that method back as it's seen not economically viable with renewable energy becoming more affordable. As time goes on there are more investments moving towards renewable energy technology to help further advance and support them but there is still more work to be done and resources to be prepared for transitioning to clean energy.

Hunger is something that is happening not only in my country, but the entire world; to make it worse the pandemic pushed back so many people that even those who never faced hunger into extreme malnutrition.  This planet has more than enough to feed the entire world, but what it lacks is the distribution to make this possible. My family almost suffered with hunger because during the pandemic my mom lost her job and we had no means of being able to have the same sustained life, however we were blessed to have been provided for and never suffered with hunger. This made me realized that not everyone would be fortunate like how my family was and gives me empathy towards those who suffer today with malnutrition. On a biological aspect those who suffer with malnutrition wont be able to live their full potential and some on the extreme scale ends up even dying because they had no food to eat which is why we need to work together as one world to end all hunger.

For example, when a close person dies, women wear the black color for several days as a way to express their sadness. In addition to that, a 22-year-old girl should have a life full of hope and basic rights such as education, work, and living in a  suitable environment. Huda Group 26
