This also interested me a lot because of the recent COVID-19 impact on this goal. After the whole world was shut down industry took the largest hit in recent history. This challenge also caused the innovation of the world to figure out how they were going to solve this problem the fastest, safest way possible. The infrastructure of every country took a major hit during these tough times as well when jobs were left unattended at some times and while every country is different it is important to strengthen all of these traits to help improve the quality of life for everyone involved. ]]> 2021-10-18 17:48:46 UTC https://padlet.com/globalsolutions/zwbob5inbdz2ihtn/wish/1824896211 Mike-15, USA, Life Below Water k0873930 https://padlet.com/globalsolutions/zwbob5inbdz2ihtn/wish/1832329611 I’m passionate about life below water and think picking up the work of the TerraMar project would be a great place to start. An interview with the founder and powerful woman who started the group would provide great insight into real problems of the world. She is currently unavailable for questions which led to some digging. (The video link is a layout of the project from Miss Maxwell herself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pUzcRORDIg personal achievements are listed in the into) To summarize the aim is to leverage technology to create a global ocean community. As I diver myself I can empathize with her passion to help the ocean and the approach of taking ownership for what goes into it.

S.-15, USA, Clean Energy https://padlet.com/globalsolutions/zwbob5inbdz2ihtn/wish/1838470256 I'm very interested to find a solution for an efficient source of clean energy. One way that really fascinates me is the conversion of landfill waste and/or manure from farms into methane gas for electricity. I actually watched an episode about this on Dirty Jobs, they had several silos filled with manure ready for processing and for the separation of fluids so that they can be used as methane for electricity. Not only is it a reliable source of energy, but it also helps solve the issue with space, we can get rid of a ton of waste just from using it instead of just having it sit around.

The world has made many great advances but women and girls still lag behind.

As many people know in some places it is very difficult to find education, which is why I think that we as people need to start creating better relationships with other people.

Clean Energy. ryanschoettmer https://padlet.com/globalsolutions/zwbob5inbdz2ihtn/wish/1842062470 The world is at a point where our current forms of energy aren't quite cutting it. Cleaner, safer alternatives are being researched as we speak. Someone has already discussed the idea of converting landfill waste into methane gas for electricity, but it's too good of an idea to ignore. With how much waste we as humans produce this could be a safer future than the one we're heading towards. This would knock out two issues, the dangers of unrenewable fuel sources and the overwhelming and growing amount of waste the human race produces. ]]> 2021-10-25 15:19:01 UTC https://padlet.com/globalsolutions/zwbob5inbdz2ihtn/wish/1842062470 Alex N, Group 15, United States, Zero Hunger https://padlet.com/globalsolutions/zwbob5inbdz2ihtn/wish/1842081240 In the past 20 years, hunger has dropped by almost half. Many countries that use to struggle with hunger now have access to nutritional food that meets the needs of the people. That means doing things such as promoting sustainable agriculture and supporting small farmers. Starting gardens in communities can be a great way to give even more access to fresh and healthy food. Once a garden is started it is something that can continue for years to come. The goal would be by 2030 that everyone across the globe will have access to food all year round. ]]> 2021-10-25 15:24:16 UTC https://padlet.com/globalsolutions/zwbob5inbdz2ihtn/wish/1842081240 Benjamin-15, USA, (7) Affordable & Clean Energy benjaminwilliams18 https://padlet.com/globalsolutions/zwbob5inbdz2ihtn/wish/1842089250 I learned that modern renewables are outpacing the rate of increase to energy consumption by 11% in 2018. With hopes to reach 15% by 2030. Iceland and Gabon are leading with 76% and 56% respectively, with USA is regrettably bellow the average at 9.9%.

Ideally as a citizen and engineer I could help the US boost their average and reduce the pollutions emitted! Perhaps looking into why these other nations averages are so high and see if their circumstances are applicable to our limitations.

It's been said that the ability to think critically is the largest threat to the status quo, so if we are to enact change on a broad scale - we must increase our capacity as a society to mentally engage with our complicated surroundings.

It isn't really driven by the majority, mainly climate change is caused by the rich and huge companies driven by profits. What we should do as a majority is to by products sustainably produced and help vote for change. I feel what we do now for the climate is really important for the future, If we don't get companies and the rich to scale down it would alter the world for the worst. If we invested money into carbon monoxide gathering systems that would be a great start, able to gather carbon monoxide into products, such as a pop or soda.

Quality education is a human right and a public good.
Governments and other public authorities should ensure that a quality education service is available free to all citizens from early childhood into adulthood. Quality education provides the foundation for equity in society.

Poverty is the concept which affects all sides of life badly , unfortunately not just in one or some specific society’s we have it but we have this problem with many countries and societies also . I believe this is the biggest issue that should be solved because since there’s poverty means there is no enough  money to live properly and to have all of your rights as a human and visa versa if poverty is solved so there will be more chances to live with our rights easier and even we will have more chances to work on our quality of education like we will be more qualified in education so that we can develop our world also with education.  For example we have many families in our Kurdish society that they don’t have their own house even they don’t have a proper salary from government to live on it. And unfortunately we have many jobless people , specially those educators who finish their university but they can’t find any jobs. Finally this unfortunately leads our adults to leave their city ]]> 2021-10-25 19:58:52 UTC https://padlet.com/globalsolutions/zwbob5inbdz2ihtn/wish/1842883664 Poverty by {Sidad Asuad Khdr} team 15 Iraq. https://padlet.com/globalsolutions/zwbob5inbdz2ihtn/wish/1847618914 Poverty is a state or condition in which a person or community lacks the financial resources and essentials for a minimum standard of living. Poverty means that the income level from employment is so low that basic human needs can't be met.

In my point of view Poverty is one of the greatest reason behind the bad actions around the world, if you take a look when children in a poor family do not get good education, sometimes they are going to be  a bad one in their life, those are all due to the poverty. "If poverty is a man i will be deciding on the killing him"{Imam Ali}.

Poverty is not just caused by individual circumstances but by major inequalities built into the structure of Australian society. Some of the main causes of this inequality and poverty are access to work and income, education, housing, health and services.

That will be the solution if Federal governments can achieve this by rebuilding their infrastructures, developing renewable energy sources, renovating abandoned housing and raising the minimum wage. By raising the minimum wage in existing jobs, companies would combat recent inflation in both developed and developing countries.

In conclusion we can say one quote of Nelson Mandela who says( Poverty is not an accident like slavery and aparthied it is mand made. And can be removed by the actions of human beings).]]> 2021-10-27 08:45:28 UTC https://padlet.com/globalsolutions/zwbob5inbdz2ihtn/wish/1847618914 Unemployment The Biggest Issue! Rebaz Mahmood (Team 15 Iraq) https://padlet.com/globalsolutions/zwbob5inbdz2ihtn/wish/1851277944 most of countries have problem with unemployment nowadays

Types of unemployment

1- Demand deficient unemployment
Unemployment caused by a demand gap is the most common cause of unemployment during a recession. When demand for a company's products or services falls, it responds by cutting back on production, which necessitates a reduction in the workforce. Workers are effectively laid off.

2. Frictional unemployment
Workers who are in between jobs are referred to as frictional unemployment. A worker who has recently quit or been fired and is looking for work in a non-recessionary economy is an example. It's not a bad thing because it's usually generated by people looking for a job that's a good fit for their skills.

3. Structural unemployment
Structural unemployment occurs when a worker's skill set does not match the skills necessary by the available occupations, or when employees are available but unable to reach the jobs' geographical location.

Consider a teaching position that needs relocation to China, but the employee is unable to obtain a work visa due to visa constraints. It can also happen when the business undergoes a technical transformation, such as process automation, which eliminates the need for human labor.


The main causes of unemployment are:

  • Financial aid from the government
  • Technological advancement
  • Lack of education 
  • overpopulation 
  • Lack of resources
  • Corruption in the government and regulatory bodies
  • Health issues
  • Work habits or conditions
  • Lack of guidance
  • Personal reasons.


Effects of Unemployment:
  1. Mental health issues
  2. Physical health issues
  3. Lower life expectancy
  4. Homelessness
  5. Drug use
  6. Poverty
  7. Social isolation
  8. Adverse effects on children
  9. Illegal activities
  10. Economic effects


Solutions for Unemployment:
  1. Better education
  2. Motivation programs
  3. Programs against drug addiction and homelessness
  4. Fight discrimination
  5. Support programs for mental issues
  6. Subsidies for companies how are reintegrating unemployed persons
  7. Fiscal and monetary measures in a financial crisis situation
  8. Fight structural unemployment
  9. Create jobs

I have written so briefly and clearly my aim is send the message clear as crestal.

It means you. Since the industrial revolution, humanbeings have created aircraft very quickly, cars have developed strange technology, and humans have been able to use the natural resources around them for their own benefit, which has led us to attractive and advanced inventions.
This means that by applying natural resources, we have increased in return for producing more green gases into the air. These green gases are naturally produced, but their increase will pose a threat to the planet.
Human activists in this era have added unnatural green gas to the air, as we need to burn more fuel. Green gases are involved in gases that cause energy and heat to be caught in the air. How hot it gets, the planets are so hot, and we feel the effect of the biggest victims of the weather.As well as facing the dangers of climate change , countries need to have long-term plans and plant more tree greenery.

Quality of Education is one of the main problem in our community. so why I would like to mention some important point here. As we know that Education is one of the most important sector to develop of society,many countries try to develop the education by there own rules, so without education community is retarded. here we have some barrier of education, here we dont  have a good system to study. students cannot learn well, because of lack money effects the quality of teachers education.one of the main problems in society is the quality of education. because the education process is going through a bad situation. This is a dangerous situation. In this community, students face many problems, particularly lack of needs, and lack of good plans by the ministry of education. There is a huge difference between public and private schools. Teachers in private schools, they're very good. The government cares a lot. and it provides them with everything. and students have to pay. But in public schools, students can't learn well. Teachers are not like private schools. The government has ignored them. They have not been provided with any services.Kurdistan’s public universities face a difficult situation: they operate on a fixed budget, but are pressured to enroll ever-higher numbers of students, and they operate within a centralized, bureaucratic system. privet schools are better than public schools. and they have super teacher. and get paid more money, this is reasonable. government must take action seriously.
Solution:
Acknowledge and address overcrowding.

Make funding schools a priority.

Address the school-to-prison pipeline.

Raise standards for teachers.

Put classroom-running and curriculum-building decisions in the hands of the community.

Significant progress is possible when countries prioritize the concept of ' learning for all".
Resolving the dire crises of education in the developing countries, concrete and strict policies should be recommended by the policymakers. Every stakeholder (Government, teachers, parents, and even students) in the education sector needs to work towards the implementation of these policies.
There is an urgent need of educational reforms and persistence as well.
