August 2021
Heads of States, UN officials and representatives of civil society gathered in Sept 2015, in the 70th session of the UN General Assembly and adopted the Sustainable Development Goals.
These objectives form a program of sustainable, universal and ambitious development, a program of the people, by the people and for the people, conceived with the active participation of UNESCO.
MAIN
The 17 SDGs are integrated—they recognize that action in one area will affect outcomes in others, and that development must balance social, economic and environmental sustainability.
Countries have committed to prioritize progress for those who are furthest behind. The SDGs are designed to end poverty, hunger, AIDS, and discrimination against women and girls.
The creativity, knowhow, technology and financial resources from all of society is necessary to achieve the SDGs in every context.

The Best Start of the Year
The 2020 Report notes that progress had been made in some areas, such as improving maternal and child health, expanding access to electricity and increasing women’s representation in government. Yet even these advances were offset elsewhere by growing food insecurity, deterioration of the natural environment, and persistent and pervasive inequalities.
Now, in only a short period of time, the COVID-19 pandemic has unleashed an unprecedented crisis, causing further disruption to SDG progress, with the world’s poorest and most vulnerable affected the most.
Using the latest data and estimates, this annual stocktaking report on progress across the 17 Goals shows that it is the poorest and most vulnerable – including children, older people, people with disabilities, migrants and refugees – who are being hit the hardest by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Women are also bearing the heaviest brunt of the pandemic’s effects.

After decades of steady decline, the number of hungry people began to slowly rise again in 2015. Current estimates indicate that about 690 million people in the world are hungry, or , 8.9 percent of the world's population, which represents an increase of about 10 million people in one year and about 60 million in five years. The world is not on track to reach the goal of zero hunger by 2030. If recent trends continue, the number of people affected by hunger will exceed 840 million people by 2030.
According to the World Food Program, around 135 million people suffer
from severe hunger mainly due to human-caused conflict.
The COVID-19 pandemic could now double that number.

The Situation of Education in the World
Doctoral Programme for the Inclusion of Women in Science in Angola
Currently, COVID-19 mainly affected health but also education. In Apr 2020, 1.6 bil children and teenagers stayed home due to the pandemic.
The programme receives exceptional funding of $50 million and will focus on seven priority research areas for women to encourage gender equality in the science: environment, water, energy, digital technologies, life sciences, natural resource management, and marine resource management.
Primary school rate grew up to 84% in 2018. Studying these numbers it is believed that 89 will be reached in 2030.
In Sub-Saharan Africa the situation is extreme in the primary and secondary levels, where less than one half of schools have access to drinking water, electricity, computers and the Internet. The gap between under-connected and highly digitalized countries is very important and we need to change this.

As a symbol of this drive for development through knowledge and culture, from April 18 to 22, the first Luanda Biennial for the culture of peace and gender equality was held in the Angolan capital, during which the doctoral training program.
Organized with the support of the African Union, the Government of Angola and with the financial help of two great entrepreneurs, the Luanda Biennial is designed to be a great forum for exchange, dialogue and meeting between Africans from the continent and from the diaspora, in around the arts, cultural heritage and ideas
New law has been passed
Since the declaration of free education, students had been criticizing the exams dates and now it is the moment to change it. This 5th of May the president of France, Emmanuel Macron, and the German president, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, have decided a new law in all EU countries that consists of: “Since now there can only be 2 exams per week and 5 projects per month”. Strikes are on the way.
It is a forum where adolescents and women in particular can express their creativity and sense of innovation and embody a force for change, beneficial to gender equality in Africa.

Disaster in the City of Angers
WHAT ARE AFFORDABLE AND CLEAN ENERGIES?
Affordable and clean energies are one of the objectives of sustainable development, which has the goal of making electricity more achievable, and in this way all the people could have access to clean energy.

A disaster has occurred in the city of Angers. River Maine has been polluted by the leakage of toxic waste from a cargo ship.
WHAT CAN WE DO TO ACHIEVE THIS OBJECTIVE BY 2030?
First of all, it is necessary to invest in clean energy sources, such as solar, wind and thermal, and to improve energy productivity. Furthermore, we need to control our use of the non-renewable energies, which are the main problem in the atmosphere. We can also regulate our rubbish and to look after the environment without provoking problems that could affect it.

The mayor of Angers is going to impose sanctions against the ship because he says "it is illegal to transport this type of waste in this river".
"I am quite devastated by the deaths that have happened we will give the affected families a figure of $2,500", he announced.

SOME CURIOUS FACTS
Nowadays, 9 out of 10 people have access to electricity, but more than 789 million people (more than the 13% of the population) do not have access, and the most shocking fact is that 548 million of them are Africans. This can hinder the hygiene, the ways to get water or the prevention of diseases. Furthermore, 3 billion people depend on wood, coal, charcoal or animal waste to cook and heat food.
The non-renewable energies produce more than 60% of all the greenhouse gases.

DOES DECENT WORK ACTUALLY EXIST?
Our society is based on capitalism.
Decent work means opportunities to get work that is productive and delivers a fair income, security in the workplace and social protection for families, better prospects for personal development and social integration.
Afsheen Amed, 27. She works in a sportswear factory in the north-eastern city of Sialkot, in Pakistan’s Punjab province.
Afsheen works 10h a day and earns just 4,500 rupees (US$46) a month. Steven works 8h a day and earns 1.520 € which is the minimun wage on the UK. Gender equality is an issue nowadays.
“There are more than 250 women workers in the factory but none gets the same salary as our male counterparts. We do not have separate washrooms or a kitchen in the factory, let alone a day care centre. There is no concept of maternity leave. Pregnancy means removal from job.”
Afsheen says harassment is common but there is nowhere that female workers can express their grievances.
“The unions only listen to men. There is no representation of women because you need an appointment letter to become member of the union.”

Innovation Japan: Advanced Mobility Service For Last Mile Transportation
For Japan and elsewhere in the world, it will be innovation that unquestionably will resolve the issues we face in the future. Japan is committed to being the very first country to prove that it is possible to grow through innovation even when its population declines.
Change on the horizon?
In 1953, Pakistan ratified the International Labour Organisation Convention on Labour Inspections.
Under this convention, Pakistan is bound to educate and inform employers and workers about their legal rights and obligations concerning all aspects of labour protection and labour laws, advise employers and workers to comply with the law requirements, and enable inspectors to report on problems.

To realize this new era, the Government of Japan is doing everything it can to encourage various players, including start-ups and “hidden gems” among small- and medium-sized enterprises, to come up with brand-new and innovative ideas, to provide the world with solutions.

Established infrastructure exists only for middle- and long-distance transportation. One Japanese company has developed a personal mobility vehicle that will provide a new service allowing people to move freely within a one-mile radius. With a stylish, sophisticated design that energizes users, this new personal mobility vehicle has greatly helped users who once withdrew take more frequent outings.
