The 2030 Bahraini Vision is related to the SDGs due to the fact both of them aim to improve the future and many humanitarian and environmental crises. Lastly, I believe the most important goal for Bahrain is to keep our environment safe. A lot of rare sea animals have been found dead offshore recently and that’s because we’re neglecting improving our environment.]]> 2019-09-16 19:39:19 UTC https://padlet.com/elgin_vandewiel/globalgoals1/wish/384923387 Osamah Dabwan 201700914 https://padlet.com/elgin_vandewiel/globalgoals1/wish/384958137 The purpose of Sustainable Development Goals is to improve the life of humans by reducing the poverty in this world until its eliminated. Also, to make people feel safer by giving them the care they need, the required education for them to build their future  sustainable development goals is followed by more than 170 countries that trusted the UN as all of these countries aim to change the life of their people. 
Bahrain has implemented the 2030 vision that has set many goals to improve the life of their people. for example, most of the  citizens will have a place to live in by 2030. Medical care will be improved. nevertheless, Bahrain has also set some goals to eliminate the danger of industries on the life of sea animals.
finally, in my opinion i believe improving the living situations of people and increasing the medical care for them is the main goal for Bahrain. everything will go as planned by having a safe environment. ]]> 2019-09-16 20:52:35 UTC https://padlet.com/elgin_vandewiel/globalgoals1/wish/384958137 Mohammed Almajed 201400965 https://padlet.com/elgin_vandewiel/globalgoals1/wish/385006520 Poverty is a crisis that the world needs to focus on. The millennium development goals core aspect is to end extreme poverty and focus on different characteristics such as the eradication of hunger, achieving primary education, promoting gender equality and many more.
 
Bahrain has always focused on ending poverty in the past years by adding charity boxes in small local shops. However, with the Bahrain 2030 vision many of the SGD’s are implied in a governmental related forms such as applying volunteering work to high school seniors to educate the illiterates as a part of their graduation, expanding number of environmental sustainable organization and promoting women leadership in private companies.  
 
Environmental sustainability and poverty are most important to Bahrain at the time being. The people of Bahrain are not used to the habit of segregating plastics and being environmentally friendly which is an important aspect that highly affects the life at sea. Poverty leads to many consequences such as health, educational and criminal issues.

Bahrain’s 2030 vision aims to provide a better life for the citizens of the country, improve healthcare, and reduce number of unemployment. I believe the most important SDG is the environmental sustainability, the life at sea is very valuable. Many animals suffer every day from plastic and litter, Bahraini beaches can look much better without litter, this can also negatively affect our health. Increasing environmental sustainable organizations in Bahrain will also educate many people and will change the bad habit of littering.]]> 2019-09-17 01:12:00 UTC https://padlet.com/elgin_vandewiel/globalgoals1/wish/385020172 FAISAL ABDULLA 201601302 https://padlet.com/elgin_vandewiel/globalgoals1/wish/385643377 The purpose of the SDG is to eliminate all the problems that the countries are facing such as poverty, lack of education, eradication of hunger, gender equality, health care treatments and many more given as part of millennium development 
 
Bahrain has already implemented  2030 vision to develop the lifestyle of people by using the aspect of SDG by improving in many ways such as reducing poverty by opening donations box  in every store , free education through government school to reduce the rate of illiterates and giving chances to fresh graduates for working experience through Tamkeen or any company internship to reduce the rate of unemployment, free health-care treatment for Bahrainis and increasing number of environment organisation to eliminate the risk of sea creatures e.g.-turtles.

In my opinion , Bahrain should increase the medical care to people and also expats such as charging them at low cost for health care because most of them cannot afford it and also giving everyone in the opportunity to work in order to reduce the rate of unemployment and reduce poverty. Moreover, focus on being environment friendly to reduce the level of littering on beach to eliminate the risk of sea creatures.

From my experience, with the help of Bahrain's vision 2030, they were able to accomplish numerous initiatives towards sustainable development. For example, the education sector works closely with businesses in Bahrain in order to provide fresh graduates the opportunity of working in companies through internship programs. This method helps graduates to gain exposure and offer their skills and knowledge which may result in permanent hiring. Thus, relating to SDG 8- Decent work and Economic growth. 
The most important goal for Bahrain is life below water as it is an island and tourists come to visit the beaches and seas. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the people living in Bahrain to educate one and other about the different ways on how we can keep our surroundings clean. ]]> 2019-09-23 20:43:26 UTC https://padlet.com/elgin_vandewiel/globalgoals1/wish/388481273
