In the previous lectures,

we talked about specifics in the 17 goals of the 2030 agenda.

During the last lecture session,

we have analyzed the key characteristics of

the 2030 agenda for the sustainable development.

The key characteristics of the 2030 agenda can be summarized as comprehensive in it's

scope emphasizing the interrelationship

with requirement for inclusion and environmental sustainability.

Based on these characteristics,

we will further examine how the 17 goals

were categorized and how we can better assess the 17 goals.

The former Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon has already mentioned that the five Ps

are essential in discussing and explaining the 2030 Agenda for SD.

We can actually categorize the 17 goals into the five Ps.

Goals one, two, three,

four and five can be combined into the category for people.

As we remember from the United Nations dictum,

the 2030 agenda is to leave no one behind.

The SDGs are goals that represent and emphasize

the importance of the livelihood of all people.

The first five goals of the sustainable development goals are designed to

provide appropriate target for meeting the fundamental Ds of all people around the world.

The first two goals addressed the most basic sustenance.

Goals three and four assert the access to

fundamental Ds of health, well-being and education.

The next goal pose to focus on one of

the key social issue of empowering girls and women around the world.

By asserting equal opportunity for all women including jobs, food and education,

the goals 6, 12,

13,14 and 15 present the challenges that our planet is facing around the world.

This is an important on the planing upon which

the SDG were agreed within the international community,

because the global community can deeply appreciate the critical importance of saving

our planet and how our future depended on

transforming our approaches to responding to the climate crisis.

Goal six ascribes management of water and sanitation for

all to ensure access to clean and safe water for all people.

As we know, management of water is critical in saving

the planet as all life forms require water in order to survive.

In conjunction with goal six,

goal 12 assert appropriate and proportionate consumption

and production for ensuring sustainable development.

Goals 13, 14, 15

directly addresses the significance effort towards protection of our planet.

Goal 13 is presented as the precedent that

all environmental protection policy and targets start from climate action.

Goals 14 and 15 highlights that protection of our ecosystem is crucial for

our planet's survival while reminding us that we must

work to achieve these goals systematically and simultaneously.

Next categorization moves forward with issues relating to prosperity.

It is a reminder that sustainable development goals are not

intended to disregard the importance of economic development.

In order for the world to live with peace and prosperity,

the economic development that can attain

prosperity is the requisite condition for all people.

The intended design objective of the SDGs understand and

appreciate the critical importance of the sustainability side to economic development.

In all developmental agenda or processes,

the attaining energy source and energy utilization

are indispensable for achieving the successful outcomes.

At the same time the environmental complications and destruction that can arise from

energy utilization must become an important priority for

us to managing and resolve to reach sustainable solutions.

Therefore, goal seven provides targets for

the international community to be able to attenuate the negative impact

from over-utilization and eventually achieving the appropriate and sustainable balance of

energy utilization because we will not be able

to save the planet without addressing the energy utilization issue.

Goal 8, 9, 10,

11 speaks to the issues involving

fair and justice systems both in public and private communities and national entities.

Again, these issues are directly related to goal five in

that fairness and justice must be realized throughout the lines on gender,

age, geographic regions, political and

cultural entity involving every individual around the globe.

These goals assert sustainable economic successes must be

achieved in manners that promote and attain fair justice system.

These goals address that such achievement can be realized

through smart and innovative approaches for sound and reliable economic foundation.

In these goals, the SDG highlights

the importance in reducing inequalities for fair gross for everyone.

Last two goals, goal 16 and 17

incorporate the peace and partnership categorization of the SDGs.

Peace has been an important aspect with the development of the 2030 agenda.

Conflicts, terrorism and other forms of

difficulties was threatening the peace around the world.

In addition, weak institutions can become

the targets from those who threaten peace around the world.

Therefore, goal 16 shows how the international community

must come together to promote and protect peace around the world,

not with military actions but preferably so strong institutions of justice.

Lastly, goal 17 represent the partnerships for the goals.

As we have seen in goal eight of the MDGs,

partnership constitute an important factor in all the 17 goals.

Although the SDGs were agreed upon by the member state within the United Nations,

achieving the SDGs involve all entities in the international community.

During this week, we talked about how each of the goal is represented in all five Ps.

People, planet, prosperity peace and partnership.

I think we can remember that five Ps represent,

and embody the core priorities of the SDGs.
