Why “SDGs” ? And How ? Please give me an example... by deen jamesson https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44 Please share your opnion about the benefit of the SDGs to our world... en-us 2021-08-23 07:13:20 UTC 2025-11-19 01:44:34 UTC hello@padlet.com name.... jamessondeen https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/1690677701 opinion.....]]> 2021-08-23 07:13:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/1690677701 Jia Qi https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/2438740540 It pushes for a more collective effort to achieve the desired targets.

Goal 17 target includes: Assist developing countries in attaining long-term debt sustainability through coordinated policies aimed at fostering debt financing, debt relief and debt restructuring, as appropriate, and address the external debt of highly indebted poor countries to reduce debt distress]]> 2023-01-10 04:07:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/2438740540 Christine ✨✨ https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/2438741993 There’s only one earth, if we don’t protect our Mother Earth 🌍, we don’t have another for our future generations.

Learning about these initiatives can help students like myself to develop insights into issues around the world such as lack of access to clean water and gender equality.  

For example: Choosing reusable products. Using an eco-bag for shopping and a reusable water bottle or a cup to reduce  plastic waste.

It helps to improve the world and better for the populations to live in with better working and living standards.

How SDG? Countries across the globe should work together and collaborate more in sharing their successful ideas for others to follow and implement. Additionally, better off countries could offer support in various ways to ensure everyone reaps the benefits in the long run.]]> 2023-01-10 04:12:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/2438744381 heidi https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/2438745030
SDGs encourages countries to work towards a more sustainable future, which is important as it would provide future generations with a better world to live in. 

Countries can implement relevant programmes and activities to achieve the specific SDGs. In Singapore, to meet the SDG of Climate Action, the government encourages citizens to recycle and reuse by placing recycling bins in most neighbourhoods. ]]> 2023-01-10 04:14:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/2438745030 Lei En https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/2438745100 SDGs are aims that targets to help us develop a better future for both human beings and other species. An example is to reduce plastic waste to reduce air pollution. (Bringing along recycling bags wherever I go. Say no to plastic cups and use my own bottle. ) ]]> 2023-01-10 04:14:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/2438745100 Ophelia https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/2438745130 SDGs are important as there is overconsumption due to the world being so populated. I think that Singapore can work on SDG 7 of affordable and clean energy. As many people live in HDBs, we are not able to install our personal solar panels. 

There is a scheme ongoing to purchase energy generated from solar panels from individuals and businesses. The government can encourage more residents living in landed properties to install solar panels by providing them with subsidies since the cost of installation is high. ]]> 2023-01-10 04:14:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/2438745130 Cheryl https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/2438745264 SDGs are important as it ensures that the current generation is not overconsuming the limited resources that we have.
E.g., a circular economy helps to reduce wastage and promote the use of existing products for as long as possible. 
In Singapore, there are fashion businesses that promote such causes. These businesses will organise swapping events for customers to exchange their clothes for other clothes that are in good condition.]]> 2023-01-10 04:14:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/2438745264 Aisyah https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/2438745266 Due to world’s limited and diminishing resources, we need to be able to incorporate sustainable living in our life. To be able to reach that, SDGs help drive people to find solutions towards sustainable living. For instance, the younger generations are diverting more towards sustainable fashion. Therefore, more young people are purchasing thrifted and secondhand clothings and goods. ]]> 2023-01-10 04:14:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/2438745266 Gracial https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/2438745983 Why? SDGs create goals for countries to plan for the future while also reflect on their current efforts in terms of sustainability, reducing inequality, climate action, etc. 
How? As for Singapore, we should put in more effort in reducing the use of takeaway containers. Even with 10 or 20 cents charge, most people would rather pay the cost than face the inconvenience of bringing their own containers. 
Example: incentives when we purchase lunch boxes]]> 2023-01-10 04:15:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/2438745983 Sarah whms https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/2438746272 WHY
SDGs serve as practical roadmaps to guide people's actions to make improvements to the world.

HOW
Pick one goal and focus on one or few targets > come up with tools (project, activity etc.) that meet selected targets
 
Example:
Goal 4: Quality Education
Target 4.4: "By 2030, substantially increase the number of youth and adults who have relevant skills, including technical and vocational skills, for employment, decent jobs and entrepreneurship"

- One can conduct workshops to impart professional skillsets to these youth and adults]]> 2023-01-10 04:15:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/2438746272 https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/2438746848 xiang qing 
with SDGs, the limited resources in our world can be well-utilized and preserve for the future generations. 
Example, with careful and responsible consumption of water ensures that our needs and well-being are met, while creating a sustainable future for others]]> 2023-01-10 04:16:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/2438746848 Hazel https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/2438747005 The SDGs allow all countries around the world to have a common goal — tackling global issues and achieve a better future. 

One way I could apply the SDGs in my daily life is to waste less food (perhaps asking for lesser food portions when I am eating out)! This way, there would be lesser food wastage and resources could be conserved.]]> 2023-01-10 04:16:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/2438747005 Yee Ting https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/2438747845 It sets a unified goal for everyone to better & preserve the world we live in. 

One way to tackle SDG 13 (climate action) that can start from me is to recycle my wastes as much as possible. Further action can be done as group and more with issues such as renewable energy. ]]> 2023-01-10 04:18:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/2438747845 Rui Fang https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/2438748212 The SDG goals is beneficial for everyone as their lives will become better and easier such as having cleared water, having more greeneries and have better standard of living. For instance, by having better quality of education, it helps the people to gain more knowledge and at the same time could also reduce the inequality in terms of income ]]> 2023-01-10 04:18:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/2438748212 Alicia https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/2438748234 There is only one Earth.
We are considered blessed to be able to be living on it but continuous 'abuse' had led to the outcomes we experience today.

The SDGs are designed to encourage us to take care of what we are responsible for.

Example - bringing our own water bottles instead of always buying plastic bottled water

Why? The SDGs helps us to better envision how we can work towards a more sustainable world together with the combined efforts of all the countries involved. 

How? As a marketing student, I’ve always heard of promoting ESG in businesses, which is closely connected to SDGs. I believe we can integrate eg. SDG 3 Good Health and Well-Being by implementing more wellness program to ensure the well-being of all employees.

For example some environmental damage such as air pollution, cannot be reversed.

For example, we are encouraged to take public transport to reduce the amount of carbon footprints as small efforts make big differences.

I think that Sdg is a meaningful project that encourage collective efforts from individuals around the world, it is necessary to ensure that we reach our common goal of living with a better quality of life in an inclusive environment. For example there are programs encouraging students to be involved in urban agriculture in institutions so that they will be equipped with relevant skill sets and knowledge about the importance of sustainability and will be exposed to the problem of food insecurity in Singapore. ]]> 2023-01-10 04:22:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jamessondeen/u8l5ibau0tu23f44/wish/2438750349
