Components Are Not Precise Enough For Me

Agreeing goals. This should be again the decision of the service user and what they want to see as their goals. If it is the service user that is making the goals they will make an effort to achieve them. If they feel they are working towards goals that they do not understand or don't even want, then they won't make an effort to achieve them or work towards them.

The goals the business wishes to achieve are not far from reach, the business has been around for a long time and is now at its maturity stage hence it has the required finances to pursue its goals

As we only have Target’s publicly released data since 2010 we can only assess the trends that have become apparent over that short period. While it was previously mentioned in this report that Target had only met or exceeded ten out of the twenty goals they set, this does not discredit the progress they had made towards reaching those goals. Over the last five years, they have made measured progress in each goal, and 2015 saw the highest annual progress in all but six of its

The client smart goal is specific since she wants to do knee rehabilitation to recover from an ACL injury. The goal is measurable since we met two times a week for thirty minutes at Lehman College, Apex Center. The goal is achievable since the client has the ability to perform the exercise. The goal is realistic since the client have the confidence to engage in the activity. The goal is time-framed since the client was required to complete four sets of side

Yes. Since this is about money and money is measurable, the total amount of money raised for developing countries annually will suffice to measure the target.

The targets within goal 14 are, for the most part, currently measured. Target 14.1 is partially measured, in that studies on marine pollution are

1. The United Nations targets for ocean sustainability are measurable when looking at 14.1, 14.2, 14.3, 14.4, 14.5 and 14.6. This is due to that fact that the United Nations is able to create a base level in order to look at the major contributors to these issues this can be then simplified as these contributors are the human population. For example, when look at target 14.3 which deals with the eminent of fossil fuels, fossil fuels are cause by production run by humans. Allowing humans to have control over how many fossil fuels they want to eminent on a daily basis. Another example of a target that can be measurable is 14.4 as it deals with the issue of over fishing and the use of fish stocks. This target is measurable as The United Nations is able to measure fish stocks and will be able to measure them ten years from now to see if the laws put in place are positively affecting our worlds oceans. They will be able to check the harvest growth pattern that the fish stocks provide in order to catch illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing. There are however targets under The Unites Nations goal that are not measurable this can be seen when looking at targets 14.7,14. a,14. b and 14.c. I believe that these goals are unable to be measured due to that fact for example in 14.7 there is no quantification in dollars or percentages as it is looking at economic benefits of developing states. When looking at the other targets they are to general and have no specific goal (i.e. date)

The objective of each target is to indicate action oriented procedures and measurability. I consider target 12.1 and 12.7 to be measurable because you can determine the number of countries actively engaged in SCP. The engagement can be seen through national policy, action plans or corresponding activities linked to sustainable development (Bioregional, 2015). Target 12.2 is difficult to measure because it requires a multitude of calculations, some of which include: carbon footprint, domestic material input and domestic material consumption (Bioregional, 2015). Target 12.3 is unquestionably quantifiable due to its specificity regarding the amount of per capita global food waste being reduced. Target 12.4 can be measured using data concerning the amount of chemicals found within water, soil and food agriculture produced every year as well as the number of reports on management for those in agreed relations (Bioregional, 2015). Target 12.5 remains unclear and immeasurable based on lack of definition. The use of the term “substantially” does not give any feedback about quantity, but rather pose the question, by how much? Target 12.6 is similar to 12.1; it can be measured by the number of companies publishing reports (Bioregional, 2015). Target 12.8 presents as unrealistic, however it can be measured through surveys or key words searched online. The results will be inaccurate because not all parts of the world have access to Internet. Target 12.a can be measured through the

A specific goal describes the unique characteristics that must be existed to satisfy the process area. A specific goal is a required component in the model and it is used to help in determine whether a process area is satisfied.

The MDGs are very good and effective goals because they have risen a lot of attention and due to that they are creating significant

The measurability of a target is the ability to measure progress over a period of time. Targets from Goal 14 are ambiguous and unclear. Certain targets are not measurable, some are, and some can be measured in part.

The seemingly qualitative nature and vague definitions of the targets suggests that the accurate measurement of the relevant data is challenging. However a rough estimation of all the targets can easily be made through the many collection or modeling techniques available. Despite these approximate results, as long as the measurement methods are kept constant, targets such as 7.2 and 7.3 can be assessed. Nonetheless if the data assemblage and compilation process improves, this progress must be factored into the comparative results. Target 7.1 is less black and white in nature, and would need a more specific target purpose to be effectively measured. Targets 7.a and 7.b are very qualitative and difficult to measure. They are however

is not truly measurable. The language of this target is extremely vague, and leaves a great deal of information open to interpretation. The most notable example is the use of the term “universal access” when referring to use of energy. Having access to modern energy services is not the same as utilizing modern energy services. As long as more traditional forms of energy are more affordable, in many developing countries those forms would take precedence. As well, in order to measure something you must have concrete determinants, and it is difficult to measure access. In target 7.2, the target is to, “increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix.” Although this target is more specific then 7.1, outlining that they will be measuring the “share of renewable energy,” which can be done easily by measuring energy used by renewable sources, relative to the total. The target itself is not clearly defined, by using the term, “substantially” the target is left open. For example, in 2011, 21% of the world’s energy was generated from renewable resources. (US Energy Information Administration, 2012). When the target mentions “substantially” increasing this share, it can be interpreted many ways, ranging from just a few percentage points, to possibly doubling. Target 7.3, “Doubling the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency” is a measurable goal. By clearly outlining that the goal is to double the global rate of improvement, the goal has a standard

Each of the targets attached to goal 7 have an end date by which they want to achieve the target, helping measurability. Target 7.3 mentions doubling, this helps people measure the target as it uses figures that can be compared, the other targets however only use words such as increase, enhance and expand, making it harder and more subjective to see if the target has been met. The actual way that people measure these targets may differ too, for example, in Ghana surveys were taken to estimate the electricity access for households, the Ghana Statistical Services (GSS), the Energy Commission (EC) and many more institutions conducted surveys in 2010. The GSS established the electricity access was 64.2% whereas the EC determined it to be 60.4% (Brew-Hammond et al., 2014). Although there is only 4.2% difference in the measurements it is hard to know if the targets have been met, as there may be a wide range of data collected. Targets 7.1 and 7.b mention energy services; this is a highly debated definition (Brew-Hammond et al., 2014), making it, again, hard to measure. The targets are very broad and open about where they want to aim; target 7.1 and 7.2 mention universal access and global energy, this is hard to measure in certain places such as shanty towns where the population is so dense; rural areas where the population is so remote that it is difficult to access, and countries where there may be political unrest making it hard for surveyors to access the country itself. 7.a

Firstly, the targets that are measurable can be broken down into two distinct categories: economic output and resource use/waste.
