SDG Week 1 : Introduction to Sustainable Development

 

    Assalamualaikum all, I joined the Sejahtera class since on week 1, Prof. Dr. Suhaimi has been conducted a online class. Throughout the lecture of Week 1, our lecturer conducted a Taaruf session and briefed about this subject which is related with sustainable development and the concept of sustainability. There are some reflections that we can learn from this session : 

      Firstly, Prof. Dr. Suhaimi explained there are 3 main pillars which are:

• environmental conservation, 
• economic development
•  social sustainability

This three pillars must be balanced to achieve sustainable development. Development can meet present needs while ensuring a healthy environment, a strong economy, and a fair society for future generations.

     Furthermore, our lecturer highlighted the goals, targets, and indicators of SDGs. Now we have 17 sustainable development goals altogether which integrating from 8 goals, 21 targets, 60 indicators 17 goals, 169 targets and 304 indicators. 

    Next, we learned about the fundamental principles of sustainable development which are the 5Ps :

• People
• Planet
• Prosperity
• Peace
• Partnership

    In conclusion, I personally agreed the Week 1 lecture provided a strong and deeper understanding sustainable development from both global and Sejahtera perspectives. Learning about the three pillars, the SDGs framework, and the 5Ps helped me realize that sustainability requires balance and responsibility This session also enhanced and encouraged my awareness that achieving sustainable development is not only the role of governments, but also of individuals, including myself as a student, in contributing to a better future for present and coming generations.
