Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

 Before going into detail let's introduce sustainable development goals. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity. 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 prioritizing progress for those who are furthest behind. The SDGs are designed to end poverty, hunger, AIDS, and discrimination against women and girls. The creativity, know-how, technology, and financial resources from all of society are necessary to achieve the SDGs in every context.

 List of 17 SDGs goals are as below

1. No Poverty
2. Zero hunger
3. Good health and wellbeing
4. Quality education
5. Gender equality
6. Clean water and sanitation
7. Affordable and clean energy
8. Decent work and economic growth
9. Industry, innovation, and infrastructure 
10. Reduced inequalities
11. Sustainable cities and communities
12. Responsible Consumption and Production
13. Climate Action
14. Life below water
15. Life on land
16. Peace, justice, and strong institutions
17. Partnership for the goals

 

Pakistan's progress toward Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Despite Covid -19 and economic instability, Pakistan ranked 134 out of 193 on a global level which shows the efforts of Pakistan toward the SDGs.

 

Aviation Saviors' little efforts toward Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

For the achievement of SDGs, most of the responsibilities fall on the shoulders of the citizens of Pakistan you and me because without our support it will be difficult to achieve the SDGs. So what is our contribution toward SDGs? Our team of aviation Saviors is working to educate students and the community about birds strike and proper waste disposal. Waste is the root cause of many issues. and it has many harmful effects on human health. So SDGs goal number 3 good health and well-being

 is very important because if any society is healthy then it will work more productively and can contribute to the economy of any country. So The Waste which is not properly managed, especially excreta and other liquid and solid waste from households is a serious health hazard and leads to the spread of infectious diseases. 

Unattended waste lying around attracts flies, birds, rats, and other creatures that in turn spread disease. Normally it is the wet waste that decomposes and releases a bad odor. This leads to unhygienic conditions and thereby to a rise in health problems. Plastic waste is another cause of ill health That’s whys we are educating people about the side effects of garbage/offal/animal remains and taking steps to manage and control waste disposal near the airport and urging people to keep the vicinity of airports clean by disposing waste at designated dumping points in an environment-friendly manner. That avoids attracting birds. And it will also protect us from many harmful diseases so by this we are contributing toward the sustainable development goals (SDGs) goal Number 3 good health and wellbeing. And  awareness is the first step for localizing the sustainable development goals. It is your responsibility as a citizen of Pakistan and it is also a responsibility of mine as a citizen of Pakistan to play our role as responsible citizens for the progress of our country.
