One of the most pressing issues is global warming, which shows itself, for example, in summer heatwaves, deaths caused by the heat, housing that is not designed for the heat, melting glaciers, and rivers running dry.

Sustainability to me means living and using resources responsibly in a way that meets our present needs without limiting the ability of future generations to meet theirs.

One of the most urgent sustainability issues in my local community is poor waste management and flooding. In many parts of Nigeria, including Abuja and nearby communities, improper waste disposal often blocks drainage channels, leading to flooding during the rainy season. Flooding damages homes, disrupts transportation, increases the spread of waterborne diseases, and affects people's livelihoods. Recent government reports have also warned that many communities across Nigeria, including those in the FCT, face significant flood risks.

General excessive waste -food, recyclables, water, electronics (not being rid of in appropriate ways) etc.

Too much litter on the streets and even some forest areas. Fly tipping is also a big issue that is currently being combatted by more vigilant surveillance and increasing fines.

Air pollution in certain parts of the town.

Overuse of plastic everywhere and lack of awareness or care are in my eyes the biggest problems in this town, and globally.

Also the blind drive for convenience above all else, as well as the ingrained 'need' for constantly "upgrading" electronics and similar, even without the actual need as what they have is still perfectly fine. This also applies to cars, clothes, equipment-there's just too much commercialism and purchase culture, increasing unnecessary waste and cost of living crisis.

As a human Nutrition and dietetics student we are taught about food safety and unavailability and I see it everywhere around me especially it hurts me to see that in many parts of Pakistan people sleep hungry and thirsty and die that way especially in thar and other areas and on there other hand I see improper handling of food storage and transportation from the farms to the market due to lack of proper storage areas and transportation vehicles and roads which in turn causes tonnes of food to be spoiled and wasted although if it would have been handled properly all the suffering hungry people wouldn't have to sleep and die hungrily, same for water I think, in Pakistan ground water is being used excessively causing a water shortage everywhere, the reason for this is that most houses nowadays dig a borehole and use the water and in this way when almost all homes use water this way, it causes water scarcity and makes the soil dryer and less fertiles too.

Pakistan Food Supply Chain Issues: Poor Handling and Storage | Engr Muhammad Farooq Anwar posted on the topic | LinkedIn

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Biggest problems in Pakistan food supply chain
Pakistan produces enough food…
Yet millions still face shortages, price hikes, and waste.
The problem isn’t production
it’s the food supply chain.
Here are some of the biggest issues:
1. Poor post-harvest handling
Fruits and vegetables are damaged during picking, loading, and transport.
2, Lack of cold storage
Most produce travels without temperature control, leading to quick spoilage.
3. Inefficient transportation
Delays, poor roads, and improper packing reduce product quality before it reaches markets.
4. Middlemen dominance
Farmers get low prices, while consumers pay high — value is lost in between.
5. Limited processing facilities
Very little focus on value addition like drying, pulping, or packaging.
6. No proper demand forecasting
Overproduction in some areas, shortages in others.
The result?
Up to 30–40% food waste
Higher prices for consumers
Lower profits for farmers
What do you think is the biggest gap in Pakistan’s food supply chain?

Göteborg is in theory the most sustainable city on the planet (according to some travel websites anyway) And the Swedish people do generally care a lot about nature.

In my region of Austria, we’re already feeling the effects of climate change firsthand. This year, we’ve seen alarmingly little rainfall, leading to extreme drought—highly unusual for our latitude. Temperatures are also rising unseasonably early, and air quality is worsening due to pollution and shifting pressure systems.

But perhaps our biggest challenge isn’t the climate itself—it’s awareness. Many people here still don’t fully grasp how their daily choices contribute to the problem. We have the tools and knowledge; what’s missing is the collective will to act on them.

Edinburgh is going to feel the impacts of the climate breakdown - food shortages, heat, flooding - with infrastructure which is unprepared. Biodiversity loss is staggering, sad, and has the potential to severely impact national security, but leading political parties bury or obscure evidence with smoke and mirrors, or do not address climate change at all.

Annan Harbour

There has been an investment of £1.34 million to regenerate what was once a busy working harbour into a community hub. Here, the harbour will be used for sporting activities, social aspects, wetland restoration and bring back the history of the town. By regenerating the wetland space, it provides a space for wildlife and sea birds to return to the area, as well as promoting environmental conservation along the Solway Firth.

In Johannesburg, South Africa, sustainability is often driven by necessity. Many people make a living through recycling, sorting through waste left out for municipal collection to collect materials such as plastic, tin, and cardboard. While the income is small, every bit makes a meaningful difference in their daily lives.

This highlights a powerful perspective on sustainability—one rooted in resourcefulness and valuing what might otherwise be discarded. It prompts an important reflection: we can all be more mindful of our consumption and waste. Rather than over-consuming, there is much to learn from recognising that small actions, when repeated consistently, do add up.

I think that the lack of central green space is an issue as there is an increase of flooding in higher, denser populated areas. This can cause further issues to the environment and local habitats. There is a lot of poor quality housing in Dundee, leading to higher energy costs as houses are needing heated for longer periods of time.

Tegal is one of Indonesia's small city. It has very different conditions compare with Jakarta as the Capital City. Sustainability awarness in Indonesia's small city is still low. I think education is one of the best and easiest way to incrase knowledge and awarness about it. It still far for Tegal to make movement that focusing on become a sustainability city but with all environmental I believe we can. We can start from our daily problems such as free clean water, waste processing, public transportation, food security.

In my local context in Bogotá, I see several sustainability issues that feel both urgent and deeply interconnected. One of the most visible challenges is environmental degradation in urban spaces—air pollution, inadequate waste management, and the contamination of rivers such as the Bogotá River. These issues are not only environmental, but also social, as they disproportionately affect communities with fewer resources and limited access to green spaces and environmental education.

Another issue that concerns me is the growing disconnection between people and nature, especially in urban environments. Many children and young people experience nature as something distant, something that exists only in books or outside the city. This disconnection limits their sense of responsibility and belonging toward the ecosystems they are part of. For me, this is a critical sustainability issue because without that connection, it becomes difficult to foster care, awareness, and long-term commitment to environmental stewardship.

Key Sustainability Challenges in Yerevan

In Armenia, key sustainability challenges include inefficient waste management, limited recycling infrastructure, and increasing air pollution in urban areas. There is also a need to raise public awareness and encourage responsible consumption. Developing smart waste solutions and strengthening environmental education are crucial for long-term sustainable development. I am currently exploring smart waste solutions to contribute to improving urban sustainability in my local context.

The issue with sustainability in our school/local area is things such as waste management. Also how to teach children about these issues with a sense of hope rather than them becoming bored with it and feeling like they have been dumped with the problem.

We are lucky in that in our local area there are people who are setting up community projects and makign really positive changes so it is ensuring that more people are onboard with this.
