In Chapter 11, The Rescue Of Friday, Crusoe rescues a native man from being killed by other savages. This moment reflects SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions, which focuses on peace, protecting human life, and ensuring justice. When Crusoe sees the man fleeing for his life, he says, “It came to me plainly that I was called by Providence to save this poor creature’s life.” Crusoe does not stand by, he acts to protect the man’s life and stop violence, even though they are strangers from different backgrounds. Crusoe intervenes with his courage and shows mercy to Friday. Instead of treating the man as an enemy or outsider, he protects him and shows kindness, waving to him to come near. The passage said, “I smiled at him pleasantly to encourage him,” which shows how Crusoe chose peace and humanity over dominance. Eventually, the man kneels and shows deep respect, and Crusoe chooses to raise him up rather than enslave him.

In Chapter 13, Deliverance, Robinson Crusoe clearly demonstrates SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions by establishing a system of governance on the island. When he gains control over the mutineers, he chooses not to punish them with violence but instead acts as a leader and judge. Crusoe says, “I had the men brought before me, as governor, and told them that I knew of their villainous behavior... I said I was inclined to give them their liberty on the island... I would give them directions of how to live.” This moment shows how Crusoe creates a just system based on fairness, leadership, and rehabilitation rather than fear or control. He divides labor, maintains order, and builds a peaceful and cooperative community, aligning with the goal of SDG 16 to promote inclusive societies, justice, and strong institutions

In Chapter 3, My Life as a Planter, Robinson Crusoe's ship is caught in a violent storm at sea, which ultimately leads to his shipwreck and isolation on the island. Crusoe describes how “a violent hurricane blew us terribly for twelve days” and how they were helpless, letting the storm carry them wherever it pleased. A second storm then drives the ship further off course until it wrecks near the Orinoco River. This reflects SDG 13: Climate Action, as it shows the real-life dangers of extreme weather events such as hurricanes and sea storms that are becoming more frequent and severe due to climate change. Crusoe's experience reminds us of the importance of preparing for and responding to natural disasters.

In Chapter 7, Making a Country Home, Robinson Crusoe supports SDG 13: Climate Action by adapting his lifestyle to the changing weather patterns on the island. He notices the effects of the dry season on water sources and plans ahead by collecting and drying grapes into raisins and storing citrus fruits. Crusoe says, “I resolved to lay up a store of grapes, limes, and lemons for the wet season, which I knew was near.” This shows his awareness of seasonal climate shifts and his efforts to prepare for them, reflecting the importance of climate resilience and sustainable living in response to environmental changes.

In Chapter 4, Salvaging the Wreck, Crusoe shows the principles of SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production by thoughtfully recovering and reusing resources from the shipwreck. He builds a raft to transport useful supplies and carefully chooses what to take, including food, tools, and materials. Crusoe also separates his gunpowder into over 100 small parcels to avoid loss from a single accident, saying he did this so “it would not all take fire at once.” His resourcefulness and determination to make the most out of what he salvaged—without waste reflect a mindset of sustainability and responsible use, even in survival.

In Chapter 5, Building My Home, Robinson Crusoe demonstrates the values of SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production by managing his limited resources with care. After surviving the shipwreck, Crusoe becomes highly resourceful with his supplies. He writes, “After the storm was over, I applied myself to make bags to separate the powder… I made 100 parcels and placed them in my new cave... I went out at least once every day with my gun to see if I could kill anything for food... I ate sparingly and saved my food as much as I could.” This shows his understanding of the importance of preserving resources, avoiding waste, and planning for long-term survival. His sustainable habits, even in isolation, reflect the core of SDG 12: using natural resources responsibly to ensure they last.

In Chapter 11, The Rescue of Friday, Robinson Crusoe promotes SDG 4: Quality Education by becoming a teacher to Friday not only in language and survival skills, but also in faith and moral values. Crusoe writes, “I was very delighted with my new companion and worked to teach him everything useful, especially to speak to me.” Once Friday begins to speak English, Crusoe teaches him about Christianity and encourages him to abandon cannibalism. Friday promises, “he would never eat human flesh again,” and begins to understand Crusoe’s teachings about God. This shows Crusoe’s role as an educator offering inclusive, personal education that nurtures both intellectual and spiritual growth. His actions reflect SDG 4’s goal of ensuring quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all.

In Chapter 9, Food and Clothing, Robinson Crusoe reflects the goals of SDG 4: Quality Education by teaching himself essential survival skills through trial and error. Alone on the island, he writes, “I improved myself in this time by applying myself to necessary mechanical arts. I believed I made a very good carpenter… I arrived at unexpected perfection in my pottery.” Crusoe learns to build shelter, craft tools, and make pottery all without formal instruction showing the power of self-directed learning and hands on experience. His journey represents lifelong learning, one of the core principles of SDG 4, especially in developing practical and vocational skills for survival and self-reliance.

n Chapter 6: After the Earthquake, Robinson Crusoe uses his journal as a tool for survival not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. He records the events of his illness in detail, noting dates, symptoms, and his emotional reactions. For example, he writes, “June 21, Very ill. Frightened to death to be so sick. Prayed to God,” and “June 25, Shivering fit so violent it held me for seven hours. Cold and hot fits. Faint sweats.” These entries show how Crusoe is not only keeping track of his physical condition but also expressing fear, despair, and hope, helping him process what he’s going through. Later, after reading the Bible, he reflects on his emotional transformation, saying, “I had a different sense of the captivity I was in… I wished more for deliverance from sin than from suffering.” His journal becomes a space of reflection and emotional release, contributing to his mental health and spiritual clarity. This practice of self monitoring and emotional expression aligns with SDG 3, which promotes mental well-being and resilience in challenging situations.

In Chapter 6: After the Earthquake, Robinson Crusoe becomes gravely ill and endures several days of intense fever, weakness, and emotional fear. During his illness, he experiences violent chills, hallucinations, and a terrifying dream that deeply shakes him. Crusoe writes, “June 21, Very ill. Frightened to death to be so sick. Prayed to God.” As he continues to suffer, he turns to the Bible for comfort, saying, “I opened the book casually, and the first words that appeared to me were these: ‘Call on me in the Day of Trouble and I will deliver you and you will glorify me.’” This moment of spiritual reflection and hope becomes a turning point in both his physical and mental recovery. He begins praying daily, reflects on his past actions, and feels gratitude for his healing, saying, “I knelt down and thanked God for my recovery.” Crusoe’s experience shows how self-care, emotional strength, and spiritual support are essential to overall well being, which reflects the goals of SDG 3: ensuring healthy lives and promoting mental and emotional wellness for all.

In Chapter 9: Food and Clothing, Robinson Crusoe supports SDG 2: Zero Hunger by developing a sustainable food system through both farming and animal domestication. Over time, he learns to grow rice and barley and successfully traps and raises goats, ensuring a steady supply of meat and milk. He explains:
“Now I had not only meat, but milk too… I set up a dairy and sometimes had a gallon or two of milk in a day. After many attempts, at last I made butter and cheese and never lacked for them again.”

By planting crops and raising animals, Crusoe becomes self-sufficient and no longer depends on uncertain hunting or gathering. His careful management of food sources and livestock directly reflects the aims of SDG 2, to end hunger, achieve food security, and promote sustainable agriculture, even in the most isolated conditions.

n Chapter 9: Food and Clothing, Robinson Crusoe contributes to SDG 2: Zero Hunger by domesticating goats and creating a sustainable source of food. Through patience and effort, he builds pens, tames the goats, and raises them for milk, meat, and dairy products. He writes, “Now I had not only meat, but milk too… I made butter and cheese and never lacked for them again.” Over time, his flock grows from three to more than forty goats, showing how he establishes food security through sustainable livestock farming. This reflects SDG 2’s focus on ending hunger and promoting sustainable agriculture.
