Ensure Environmental sustainability

We learned that between 2000 and 2014 more than 320 million people living in the slums are getting improved water sources, improved sanitation facilities and durable or less crowded housing, thereby, exceeding the M.D.G target

1. 37% of Historically Honduras was pretty much entirely covered by trees, with half a percent of the land not forested.
2. India is the most polluted country because there is a lot of smog and the traffic causes a lot of fossil fuels.
3. Tonga is the most unsustainable country in the world because they have debt to the Chinese government.

Ensure Environmental Sustainability 

We learned that they are working on reducing biodiversity loss, increasing afforestation and give more water to people living in slums. We also learned between 1990 and 2015 over 2 billion people got fresh water. 

Three examples of environmental hazards around the world are:

1. Australian wildfires

2. The California wildfires

3. pollution

The Australian wildfires have burned up 17.35 million acres of forest and has killed a ton of wildlife. 

The California wildfires has burned up to 250,000 acres of land. 

One of the most polluted places in the world is Shijiazhuang, China where you can't go outside without a gas mask.

-The leading cause of deaths of children under five is Preterm Birth Complications

- Child deaths are increasingly concentrated in countries with the fewest resources

Promote Gender Equality And Empower Woman. 

I learned that FAO recognizes the importance of this and works to change it.  Gender equality is being fair with men and woman.  Gender equality doesn't mean woman and men become the exact same, it simply means they want to be paid the same or treated fairly. Also that they have equal resources regardless of the gender of the person. 

They want to eliminate gender disparity in primary,  secondary and tertiary education. About 3 or so quarters of working men participate in the labor force. 

It is said that if men get paid a dollar an hour then women would get paid 78 cents per hour. Although, recently in many places they start to work the same as men and get paid the same as well.

To Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women.

There are Multiple examples f Gender inequality in north america, however I Don't believe that one gender has it harder than the other. Men have it hard in some ways, and Women have it hard in other ways.

While I do support the women's rights movement in north america, I believe that there are places where that sort of thing is needed a lot more. Specifically, Middle Eastern countries, such as Saudi Arabia.

I've linked a website that explains why I think this way.
