The Importance Of Equality Development Program Is A Key For Sustainability Development

A group of adolescents sitting inside an internet café are discussing their local newscast website’s trending topics. All though sustainable development has been a topic of discussion for years, some teenagers are not aware of it. Ordinarily relatively knowledgeable about diverse subjects, Ron interrogated the group for responses about sustainable development. To which, Ami acknowledges ignorance of the subject. Though not completely knowledgeable about sustainable development, Dena communicated observation of people conversing about sustainable development, noting that some were louder and more passionate than others about it. After locating the definition of sustainable development electronically Jenny chimed in, this 1987 United Nations report states, sustainable development refers to a type of development, stating that it will ensure that it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (as cited in Aikins, 2014). Of course, this definition did not satisfy their inquisitive minds, so they decided to further their investigation of sustainable development. Hayden and Theo heard the group talking about sustainable development and expressed their desire and willingness to assist them with researching the subject. After a brief thought, the group unanimously welcomed Hayden and Theo to join them. Shortly after joining the group, Theo presented the others with an article about sustainable development which also

A major worry humans have in the world today is having an environmentally sustainable society. Humans are ruining the earth day by day and now it is unsure if it is possible to fix it. An environmentally sustainable environment is defined as a society that satisfies the basic needs of its people without depleting or degrading its natural resources. This means saving the earth so it can become sustainable to live on for millions more years without using all of its resources. An environmentally sustainable society is possible because people can help change the earth by decreasing waste, use less resources, and cleaning up the planet.

　　This is a small village in GuangDong province, China. This village has small population which has 278 people live in 56 houses, and the houses distribute with a half moon pattern. The village is surrounded by mountains on three side, a medium size lake in front of the village, and a small road is the only way for the village to connect with the outside world. We have plenty, continuous of solar resources and wind resources because of the mountains . I will make best use of these resources and develop my village according to the main concept which is “let the environment to decide the human’s activity instead of the human’s activity to decide the environment”(Badiru, 1). I will focus on the environment section to discuss how the sustainable community can keep going for the future.

Environmental disasters are often pushed into regions with a higher rate of marginalized groups; relating to race, class, and gender. The dangerous environmental issues that these groups face hinder their progress in the fight for equality, oppressing them and hurting the environment even more. Environmental racism is a problem that many have to face, trapping people in a cycle of poverty and making it so they can’t escape environmental disasters that bring health issues with them. There are high rates of pollution in areas that are disproportionately African American, and governments help keep the businesses that are damaging the environment in place. General populace and media care less about communities with bigger populations of oppressed people, preventing their social advancement. In addition, different classes have different ways of looking at environmental and social justice issues, which can drastically effect the turn of events. Sexism can change the way that environmental catastrophes such as the one at Love Canal, New York, are solved, making the process in the fight for equality drawn out because of sexist stereotype. Inequality drastically changes our environment because environmental disasters are forced onto groups of people that have less rights than others, this oppresses them even more, and in turn- continues the damage of the environment.

Sustainability can be defined as a long and creative process which creates positive and lasting results. Sustainability is a beneficial progress that consists of meeting people’s needs without conflicting the ability for future generations to meet their own needs. The change in resources will enhance both current and future generations to meet human needs. Sustainability is an important part that is presented in Ford’s overall image. At Ford, sustainability is a business model that involves long term conservation and enhances environmental, social and financial capital (“Sustainability Report”, 2014). There are three main reasons that explain how Ford is improving the importance of sustainability/social responsibility within their company compared to BMW.

The program design has some mechanisms for participation, but the problems and objectives have largely been determined by CRS. CRS lists “shrinking plot size, unsustainable agricultural practices, poor soil, water shortages, increasing severe weather events, and rising costs for agricultural inputs” as key problems facing smallholder farm families. These key problems are seen as drivers of malnutrition and reduced resiliency and ability to cope with natural disasters at the household level, which weaken innovation, agricultural productivity and sustainable practices, access to financial services, market engagement, and the capacity of organizations at the community level. CRS expects that members of targeted communities can help develop objectives and goals to achieve CRS’s objectives through participation and therefore representation in the baseline assessment and also engagement in dialogue to develop community targets.

I think that the term environment, community, and sustainability mean to me, is that the environment is where people, animals, plaints live their lives. Environment is our world, where we work, and where we play. It is the companies that we make and homes. Community is where we live, where people stay to be happy and where everyone has something in common. A group of people who want to be close to one another. Lastly sustainability means to me is the ability to be sustained in one place and be supported by everyone. Being able to sustain the environment as a whole. Environment Inequality and Environmental Justice and Environmental Racism & Environmental Justice are the two examples of how environment and community are connected in our text. Environmental injustice and environment pollution is unevenly distributed due to ethnic groups, low-income normally people of color. In 1995 over 40 million Americans were served lead in their drinking water exceeding the regulation limit. Environmental inequality is the unequal laws, regulations and polices and environmental racism deliberate targeting of communities. Institutional racism shaped the economic, political, and ecological landscape and people of color (blacks, Asians, Latin 's, native Americans) don’t have the same opportunities as whites. They live in poverty next to industrial toxins and whites benefit from racism and people of color have to live with the cost of it. Environment and community have a lot to do with

Chamala (1995) recognized efficiency benefits from participation, by stating that ‘involving stakeholders and empowering community participants in programs at all levels, from local to national, provide a more effective path for solving sustainable resource management issues’. When people participate, the development can have sustainability and the community will be benefited in many ways. Some of the main reasons why people are usually willing to participate include: ‘Community participation motivates people to work together, Community and recognize the benefits of their involvement, Social, religious or traditional obligations for mutual help, Genuine community participation’ (http://ec.europa.eu/echo/files/evaluation/watsan2005/).This indicates that, involving the community in development activity starts from the plan of the work and goes to the end implementation. It should take place at all level of the community. Even if this is the realty, the households’ response show that the majority of the community was not involved in such opportunity. In this case, (59) respondents which was 73.75% responded as they did not have the experience of awareness in all aspects and in all level. This response does not imply Zero participation of people, it is to mean that starting from the plan up to the end and all aspects to be discussed at all level of the

The urban poor, household and communities possess some strengths and it is on these strengths the approach build on to help the poor. It is very participatory since the approach does not prescribe solutions top down on the urban poor. It is very sustainable and conscious of the environment. However, care must be taken so that the urban poor which seem to not have any asset not be neglected and left behind. The approach is not formally structured which makes it difficult for government machinery to implement due to the bureaucratic and systematic nature of governing. All said and done, the approach has produced positive results in most communities

To reach a more sustainable world, everyone's cooperation and participation are essential. Therefore, the equal rights to everyone is prominent, particularly the equal rights gained from our daily surroundings and natural environment which, in together, is the so-called environment. In order to achieve the equality, the concept of environmental justice was developed, that is originally from the unequal distribution of toxic pollutants in an African-American community. As an ongoing framing process, environmental justice has been expanding into more issues and aspects, also horizontally and vertically. It also moves from a rather anthropocentric view to more emphasisation on natural environment and the relationship between

The overall goal of the project is to build sustainable livelihoods for the poor, landless and the disadvantaged communities living in the village of Bharss.

Sustainable development still continues to be the main concept around which environment and development are organised. In addition, sustainable development is currently identified as a primary policy goal of many more institutions in development than at any previous time (Elliott, 2006). The general interpretation of sustainability is that development policies must be controlled allowing natural resources to be sustained at their initial level. The sustainability criteria ensures that future generations enjoy the same amount of resources that are undiminished relative to those of the present (Quiggn, 1997:1). However the fundamental assumption presently is that people are over using resources consequently leaving future generations with lesser and that are the cause of these depletions are market processes (Huggins, 2003: 57-71). There are two factors that need to be considered in relation to sustainable development in order to measure and reduce the impacts of the issues facing sustainability. Discount rates are generally used to calculate the future benefits that can be benefited today. Property rights are generally used as a tool to achieve sustainable development.

Studies show that people experience a dip in interest and concern about environmental problems during their adolescent years (age 13-17). However, there is a lack of information on whether this dip applies to the other two dimensions of Sustainable Development (SD) i.e. social and economic, as well. This study examined changes in the broader concept of Sustainability Consciousness (SC) throughout adolescence. SC is defined as “a composite of knowingness, attitudes, and self-reported behavior related to each of the three dimensions (environmental, social, and economic) of SD.” Using an age-adapted questionnaire, the investigators surveyed more than 2,400 students

The sustainable development goal for improving education, developed by the United Nations addresses the need for providing every person, community, and nation with quality education. Many international organizations have developed policies concerning quality education for all, including; UNICEF, The United Nations, and the World Declaration on Education for All. UNICEF’s policy includes five dimensions; learners, environments, content, processes and outcomes (Understanding Education Quality). Their policy is founded on the ideal, “ the rights of the whole child, and all children, to survival, protection, development and participation” (Understanding Education Quality).  UNICEF and many other organizations and

Research design refers to the master plan that will be used in the study by the researcher in order to answer the research questions. The study will use a descriptive survey design. The design will use both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Qualitative research design seeks to find meaning of social phenomena which is not measurable by attaching descriptions to it. It deals with descriptions where data is observed but not measured which in essence entails colorings, textures, smell, tests and frosty appearances and even beauty. On the other hand quantitative research design deals with numbers and can be measured for instance length , height ,area, volume, weight, speed, time, temperature, cost as well as wages. Both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies will be used in this study to assess the effects of land conflict on socio-economic livelihoods of the Borana community in Isiolo town of Isiolo Central division, Isiolo County.
