Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy. this goal is about ensuring access to clean and affordable energy, which is key to the development of agriculture, business, communications, education, healthcare and transportation. This is a very important goal that we can achieve which will help almost the whole world to have the modern energy source. We can expand access to electricity and clean cooking fuels and technologies, as well as improving energy efficiency and increasing the share of renewable energy. The most popular sources of sustainable energy, including wind, solar and hydropower, are also renewable. Biofuel is a unique form of renewable energy, as its consumption emits climate-affecting greenhouse gasses, and growing the original plant product uses up other environmental resources.

This goal is to ensure access to water and sanitation for all. A lot of people don't have clean, good water and sanitation. The demand for water has outpaced population growth, and half the world’s population is already experiencing severe water scarcity at least one month a year. Water scarcity is projected to increase with the rise of global temperatures as a result of climate change. We could generate awareness of these roles and turn- ing them into action will lead to win-win results and increased sustainability and integrity for both human and ecological systems. For example In 2022, 2.2 billion people still lacked safely managed drinking water, including 703 million without a basic water service; 3.5 billion people lacked safely managed sanitation, including 1.5 billion without basic sanitation services; and 2 billion lacked a basic handwashing facility, including 653 million with no handwashing facility at all.

The name of the goal: Life Below Water

Aquatic life refers to a variety of organisms, including animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms, that live and thrive in aquatic environments. In water has a critical structure in terms of biodiversity, ecosystem health, human health, economic development and climate. This life ensures the sustainability of natural cycles and provides the resources necessary for human survival. Protecting aquatic ecosystems is indispensable for a sustainable future.

If we want to achieve the goal we have to protect endangered species, reduce plastic pollution and raise awareness.

Examples: Plastic Bag Ban in Kenya

Action: Nationwide ban on the production, sale, and use of plastic bags.

Data: The ban, implemented in 2017, has resulted in a dramatic reduction in plastic waste, with up to 80% less plastic in waterways and the environment .

Example: Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, Australia

Action: Establishment of a Marine Protected Area (MPA).

Data: The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park covers approximately 344,400 square kilometers and protects a vast array of marine life including over 1,500 species of fish and 400 types of coral .

I think I can contribute to the goal of protecting and sustaining aquatic life by advocating sustainable practices. My ability to process and analyze large amounts of data and disseminate information can help raise awareness

Goal 11 is about making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.

Cities represent the future of global living. The world’s population reached 8 billion on 2022 over half living in urban areas. This figure is only expected to rise, with 70 per cent of people expected to live in cities by 2050. Approximately 1.1 billion people currently live in slums or slum-like conditions in cities, with 2 billion more expected in the next 30 years.

However many of these cities are not ready for this rapid urbanisation, and it outpaces the development of housing, infrastructure and services, which led to a rise in slums or slum-like conditions.

Urban sprawl, air pollution and limited open public spaces persist in cities.

Good progress has been made since the implementation of the SDGs in 2015, and now the number of countries with national and local disaster risk reduction strategies has doubled. But issues still remain and in 2022, only half of the urban population had convenient access to public transport.

Sustainable development cannot be achieved without significantly transforming the way urban spaces are built and managed.

Why are cities not future proof yet?

Most of the urban growth is taking place in small cities and intermediate towns, exacerbating inequalities and urban poverty.

In 2020, an estimated 1.1 billion urban residents lived in slums or slum-like conditions, and over the next 30 years, an additional 2 billion people are expected to live in such settlements, mostly in developing countries.

What are some of the most pressing challenges cities are facing?

Inequality and the levels of urban energy consumption and pollution are some of the challenges. Cities occupy just 3 per cent of the Earth’s land, but account for 60-80 per cent of energy consumption and 75 per cent of carbon emissions.

Many cities are also more vulnerable to climate change and natural disasters due to their high concentration of people and location so building urban resilience is crucial to avoid human, social and economic losses.

How does it affect me?

All these issues will eventually affect every citizen. Inequality can lead to unrest and insecurity, pollution deteriorates everyone’s health and affects workers’ productivity and therefore the economy, and natural disasters have the potential to disrupt everyone’s lifestyles. Air pollution caused affecting the health of millions is not only an urban problem, but is also affecting towns and rural areas.

What happens if cities are just left to grow organically?

The cost of poorly planned urbanization can be seen in some of the huge slums, tangled traffic, greenhouse gas emissions and sprawling suburbs all over the world.

By choosing to act sustainably we choose to build cities where all citizens live a decent quality of life, and form a part of the city’s productive dynamic, creating shared prosperity and social stability without harming the environment.

Is it expensive to put sustainable practices in place?

The cost is minimal in comparison with the benefits. For example, there is a cost to creating a functional public transport network, but the benefits are huge in terms of economic activity, quality of life, the environment, and the overall success of a networked city.

What can I do to help achieve this goal?

Take an active interest in the governance and management of your city. Advocate for the kind of city you believe you need.

Develop a vision for your building, street, and neighbourhood, and act on that vision. Are there enough jobs? Can your children walk to school safely? Can you walk with your family at night? How far is the nearest public transport? What’s the air quality like? What are your shared public spaces like? The better the conditions you create in your community, the greater the effect on quality of life.

Good progress has been made since the implementation of the SDGs in 2015, and now the number of countries with national and local disaster risk reduction strategies has doubled. But issues still remain and in 2022, only half of the urban population had convenient access to public transport.

Sustainable development cannot be achieved without significantly transforming the way urban spaces are built and managed.

Goal: Water and Sanitation. In this goal we want to save and protect water.

The importance of the goal : Water and sanitation are at the core of sustainable development, and the range of services they provide underpin poverty reduction, economic growth and environmental sustainability. However, in recent decades overexploitation, pollution, and climate change have led to severe water stress in locales across the world.

Actions taken to achieve the goal: Leveraging innovative technologies, such as water purification systems, wastewater recycling, and decentralized sanitation solutions, can improve access to safe water and sanitation services, particularly in remote or underserved areas.

Example: In December 2016 the United Nations General Assembly unanimously adopted the resolution “International Decade for Action – Water for Sustainable Development” (2018–2028) in support of the achievement of SDG 6 and other water-related targets, and on 21 December 2020, the resolution  on the “United Nations Conference on the Midterm Comprehensive Review of the Implementation of the Objectives of the International Decade for Action, “Water for Sustainable Development”, 2018–2028”,  the first UN Conference on water since 1977. Water is also at the heart of milestone agreements such as the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and the 2015 Paris Agreement.

How you can contribute to this goal:

1. We can use water less and save the water.

2. We can donate money to STK which is about water.

Save Water, save the Earth.

Access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy is incredibly important for people all around the world. This goal is vital because it has the power to enhance economic growth, support energy independence, and improve the health and well-being of the community. If countries accelerate the transition to an affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy system by investing in renewable energy and people don't waste energy we can achieve this goal.

Life below water is the 14th goal of the Sustainable Development Goals. This goal is really important because there is many living creatures in the sea. And so we need to protect them in order for us and them to live. Also there is many hidden undiscovered mysterious creatures in the sea. If these creatures lose their lives. The importance of the research of this will be gone. Also we won't be able to eat SUSHI EVER AGAIN!!!! Many people tries to save oceans by doing campaigns, making machines to clean water and investments. There is about 242,000 creatures living in the ocean. We don't want to make them endangered do we? I think we can save the sea by not throwing trash in it, contributing to investments and projects etc. So make sure to protect the life in the sea!!!

The goal aims to provide universal access to reliable and sustainable energy sources that are affordable and modernized. Access to modernized resources are very crucial because they help invest and save money for the country's economy, fossil fuels harm people's health and helps us take actions for climate change. Many laws, policies have been applied to many organs of the society and local community are engaged with this problem to solve it. An astonishing news have occurred in 2021: a record-breaking installation has been made of 268 Watts per capita of renewable capacity in developing countries. I can announce this news to my local community in order to contribute.

Access to safe water and sanitation is an indispensable human right. Clean water is essential for drinking, cooking, and keeping ourselves clean. It helps preventing diseases and keeps us hydrated. In order to achieve this goal we shouldn't waste water and we shouldn't let anyone to pour chemicals to our oceans and seas. Don't forget that if we don't protect water now we won't have any clean water in the future.

Sustainable cities are the epitome of urban planning that prioritizes environmental responsibility, social equity, and economic viability. At their core, these cities aim to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. One key aspect of sustainable cities is their emphasis on renewable energy sources and efficient resource management. By investing in renewable energy infrastructure such as solar panels, wind turbines, and hydroelectric power, these cities reduce their dependence on fossil fuels, thereby mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change.

Access to safe water. People really need to be healthy and one of the most important thing to be healthy is clean water. It keeps people and animals hydrated and healthy. For many years, people tried to save water and make projects about it. Also people spent a lot of money while working on these projects. About 2 billion people don't have access to clean water. I think we really need to focus more on these types of projects, investments etc. Also we can contribute to this project by not wasting clean water.

Being hydrated is one of the most crucial things in life. Without water or even unclean water can lead us to our doom. As stated before, clean water is essential to our health we won't be able to do without it in life. Many investments have been made in order to improve the cleanness of the water we drink. Also, many cooperations have been made in order to link the rivers and freshwater resources for the society. To add, 2.2 billion people lack clean water, and 3.4 people don't have access to managed sanitation devices. Half of the countries lack effective frameworks for sustainable water management. As to contribute to our goal due to the lack of clean water, I can " save water in the bathroom and at the faucet.

This goal aims to provide universal access to safe water and sanitation. This is important because fresh water is essential for human life and ecosystems. To this end, efforts include improving water treatment, promoting water conservation practices, and ensuring equitable access to water resources. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), some 785 million people still do not have access to basic drinking water supplies, demonstrating the urgency of this goal. To help, individuals can conserve water at home, advocate for water efficiency programs, and support organizations working to improve access to safe water around the world

This Goal aims to clean water, giving people clean and hygienic water.2.2 billion people still lacked safely managed drinking water services, 3.4 billion lacked safely managed sanitation services, and 1.9 billion lacked basic hygiene services in 2022. While the majority live in rural areas, the unserved population is decreasing in rural areas and stagnating or increasing in urban areas. Achieving universal coverage by 2030 will require an increase of 5 to 8 times the current rate.

This goal is about having free access to clean water. Water is vital to live for humans so it is important that we can access clean water easily. We should build wells in places that can't access water that easily for example Africa. Only 3 percent of water is clean and hygienic enough for us to drink. But how can we help? We can donate our money to companies or STKs that aim to find solution to this humongous problem. All in all, there is something for even you to do think about the water that you drink? Wouldn't the people in Africa deserve that water too?

Life below water is Goal 14 of the Sustainable Development Goals, set to conserve and sustainably use the oceans, sea and marine resources for sustainable development. Currently the state of our oceans are declining due to climate change factors and human behaviour.
The deterioration of coastal waters is increasing due to both pollution and coastal eutrophication. Similar factors contribute to climate change, negatively affecting the oceans and marine biodiversity which is slowly declining. The threat of growing algal blooms and dead zones in the oceans are alarming; in 2018 it was stated that "without concerted efforts, coastal eutrophication is expected to increase in 20% of large marine ecosystems by 2050".
A recent report states ocean acidification reporting stations have tripled worldwide since 2021, in addition to 1 in 5 fish caught from illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing. Beach clean-ups across the coasts are shedding light on the increase in ocean plastic pollution which suffocates the seas.
Marine conservation, local livelihoods and resource sustainability measures are compromised by poor decision-making in resource management. Consistent efforts are being made to improve such management. "The sustainable management of our oceans relies on the ability to influence and guide human use of the marine environment". To counter regression in achieving Goal 14, "swift and coordinated global action is imperative".
