SDG17 Strong Global Partnership for Achieving SDG and Need of Post Pandemic Corrections and Going to Moon, Mars and Beyond

SDG17 Strong Global Partnership for Achieving SDG and Need of Post Pandemic Corrections and Going to Moon, Mars and Beyond

What does the SDG17 Talks about? YouTube URL: https://youtu.be/k0oY3by1RWU Problems existed, aggravated during Pandemic on Achieving SDG17: • As per the OECD website https://www.oecd.org/dac/financing-sustainable-development/development-finance-standards/official-development-assistance.htm the Official Development Assistance (ODA) which are the “Gold Standard” since 1969 as a foreign aid for the developing countries used for the economic development and for the welfare, that too, on concessional basis, its data shows that it has increased and reached USD 161 Billion in 2020. It, represents 0.32% Gross National Income (GNI) but it’s still short of 0.7% of GNI i.e. ODA Grant Equivalent as Percentage. • It means that It should have been USD 350 Billion Almost that Developed Countries should have spent as Official Development Assistant (ODA) to developing countries as per their 0.7% of their Gross National Income (GNI). • In 2020, Remittance Reached USD 540 Billion in Low and Middle Income Countries. It went down by almost 2% from 2019. • In Pandemic 3.7 Billion people didn’t have connectivity in spite it was needed. Huge investment is need of the day. • Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) decreased by 40%. It was USD 1.5 Trillion in 2019 and it went down to less than USD 1 Trillion. • 63% countries don’t have enough funds to face challenges posted by Pandemic. • I have a suggestion here, “There are huge budgets for weapons of mass destructions, why can’t half of them be diverted to this SDG cause and going to Moon, Mars and Beyond?” Dr. Ashish Manohar. You can find it in many of my interviews and discussions I’ve spoken that. • “Any kind of War is a Waste of Time. Simply because, it takes more time to build devastated cities, destructed places and broken trust and shattered human minds after the wars. In place of Wars using Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), humane human must work together positively for humanitarian cause, and plan to invest same money in Achieving MDG and Going to Moon, Mars and Beyond, in place of planning all human destruction and shaking hands with Dinosaurs fossils.” Dr. Ashish Manohar Urkude, 2007.

SDG16 Strong Values based Peace, Justice and Institutions, and Problems exposed by pandemic and Achieving SDG and going to Moon, Mars and Beyond

SDG16 Strong Values based Peace, Justice and Institutions, and Problems exposed by pandemic and Achieving SDG and going to Moon, Mars and Beyond

SDG16 talks about: • Ethics and Values based relations among all the humans • Peace everywhere among individuals, organisations, institutions and nations • Justice to/for all, may it be poor or rich, etc. • Building Accountable and Efficient Institutions at all levels YouTube URL: https://youtu.be/y1C3WAgXoi8 What are the major hurdles in Achieving SDG16, and what was the impact of pandemic on SDG16? • These data are available on UN SDG website, collected from 2018 till 2021: https://sdgs.un.org/goals/goal16#targets_and_indicators • 1. War is a conflict where more than 1000 deaths are there in a calendar year and there are more than 100 such places on Mother Earth where such wars are going on since 2000 on wards. Now, my simple question here is, “Are humans going to fight wars for millions of years? Please check Britain and France war of 100 years, why there cannot be 100 years peace be possible and peace forever be possible and then achieving SDG and then going to Moon, Mars and Beyond is certainly possible.” I raised this question in the World Bank Live for at least 22 times, then I also said, at the start of the Pandemic Lockdown, “Even if you hang my carcasses publicly still I’ll say United Nations and All the Nations have lost the biggest opportunity to sign an Agreement of Forever Peace and Achieving SDG and Going to Moon, Mars and Beyond to establish equitable base of humans in all the dimensions!” • War follow no law, no ethics, no values, hence I feel ashamed as a human being when I see the humans fighting for petty things. Every war is a genocide. Are children, ladies, physically challenged, elders and even soldiers not human beings? • 2. Children are the easiest targets of exploitations: Pandemic have aggravated this problem: • For Trafficking • For Child labour • 3. In 2018, 33% of the trafficked persons were children. Are these human indicators or Devil’s indicators? Feeling ashamed to be human. • 4. Child Labour raised to 160 million in 2020 and first time since 2000 the figure gone so much up. Again, Feeling ashamed to be human. • 5. In 2020, there was increase in Human Rights defenders getting killed, 331 were killed in 32 countries and it’s almost 20% increase since 2019. • 6. Out of 193 countries on 82 countries have compliance to have the international standard Human Rights Institutions, till 2020. • 7. High income countries have 7% chances of bribery in government works than in low income countries where it’s almost compulsory to pay bribe for getting work done and it’s chances are still 38% there. With this ethics a space ship might get destroyed in space while travelling to places in the universe. Again, feeling ashamed to be human being. During Pandemic Aid to these war places could not reach…

SDG15 Saving, Sustaining all Species and their habitat and Post Pandemic Corrections needed, and Achieving SDG and going to Moon, Mars and Beyond

SDG15 Saving, Sustaining all Species and their habitat and Post Pandemic Corrections needed, and Achieving SDG and going to Moon, Mars and Beyond

Problems existing, aggravated or created by Pandemic with respect to SDG15: 1. IUCN founded in 1964, stands for International Union of Conservation of Nature and it publishes the Red List or Red Book or Red List of Threatened Species those are having risk of extinction some are on the verge of extinction even. • In its list in the year 2022, at present there are 142500 species on the Red list which have risk of extinction if humans do not take care of them by reversing the environmental damage: https://www.iucnredlist.org/about/background-history#:~:text=Currently%2C%20there%20are%20more%20than,mammals%20and%2013%25%20of%20birds. • More than 40,000 are on the verge of extinction, which includes: • 41% Amphibians, • 37% Sharks and Rays, • 34% of Conifers, • 33% of Reef Building Corals, • 26% Mammals, • 13% of the Birds, • 28% of Selected Crustaceans, • 21% Reptiles, and • 63% Cycads. • Species assessed as per their website https://www.iucnredlist.org/ 142577 and their target is making a list of 160000 species in their book “Barometer of Life”, so to make complete IUCN Red List 17423 species are left, to build a complete guide for the conservation of these species on the verge of extinction and to raise funding for this cause. 2. From 2000 till 2020 Humans lost 100 million hectares of forest though many countries like India grew some area under forest cover. 3. Progress to Safeguard Key Biodiversity areas has been stalled since last 5 years, i.e. since 2017, 4. Global Mean Percentage of Each Key Biodiversity Area covered by Protected Areas in the year 2021 are: • 43% Terrestrial • 42% Freshwater • 41% Mountain 5. As invasive Alien Species globally cause billions of dollars of damage every year so almost all the countries have adopted Legislation for Controlling or Preventing Invasive Alien Species SDG15 Targets and Indicators Target 15.1: Ensuring Fresh Water Ecosystems across the globe to be up to the mark, by 2020, in line with international agreements. • It needs Freshwater in the: • Wetlands, • Forests, • Mountains and • Drylands • To be • Conserved • Restored and • Sustained • Which are getting destroyed due to fast pace of human pollution or human encroachment or human activities like hunting, over fishing or land development Indicator 15.1: • Forest Area/ Area of the Nation, • Forest Area/ Total Land Area Indicator 15.2: Proportion of Fresh water and biodiversity area that is covered by protected area and type of the ecosystem Target 15.2: By 2020, Manage Forests in such a way that: • Sustainable management of: • All types of forests, • Deforestations, • Restore degraded forests, • Increase afforestation, and • Reforestation Indicator 15.2.1: Progress towards Sustainable Forest Management Target 15.3: By 2020, stopping desertification, deforestation and achieving land degradation neutral world: Indicator 15.3.1: Proportion of Land Degraded / Total Land Area Target 15.4: By 2030, ensuring mountain ecosystem and green cover and biodiversity required for the sustainable development • Indicator 15.4.1: Mountain Biodiversity protected area coverage • Indicator 15.4.2: Mountain Green Cover Index (MGCI) as per Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO)= It’s Percentage of Mountains with Green Cover. Target 15.5: By 2020, Taking urgent Action: • To reduce degradation of natural habitat • Stopping the biodiversity loss • Protection be given to species on the verge of extinction • Indicator 15.5.1: Red List Index, Published by IUCN since 1996, in 7 categories: • Extinct (Ex) • Extinct in the wild (EW) • Critically Endangered (CR) • Endangered (EN) • Vulnerable (VU) • Near Threatened (NT) • Least Concerned (LC) • International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) also publishes the Species Threat and Abatement Restoration and Metric (STAR) Report. • They calculate over 5 X 5 square kilometres grid across the world, and they found that in each pixel from 100 the critically endangered species have gone to 400: • They also found that following are the causes for the reduction of species population: • i. Annual and Perennial Non Timber Crops, • ii. Logging and Wood Harvesting, • iii. Invasive and other Problematic Species, • iv. Livestock farming and ranching, • v. Residential and Commercial Development, • vi. Hunting and Collecting Terrestrial Animals, • vii. Natural System Modifications, • viii. Climate Change and Sever Weather, • ix. Pollution • x. Energy Production and Mining, • xi. Other causes • So we need to stop this killing of species or Species getting killed indirectly due to our actions and behaviour. • This experience will be useful when we expand to other dimensions on Moon, Mars and Beyond. Target 15.6: Equitable Share of Genetic Resources to appropriate entities with internationally agreed norms • Indicator 15.6.1: Number of countries those have adopted the legislative, administrative framework, for equitable sharing of genetic resources Target 15.7: Take Action to end poaching and trafficking of flora and fauna, by destroying the demand and supply and illegal wild life traffic of products, globally. • Indicator 15.7.1: Proportion of traded wildlife that was poached or illicitly trafficked Target 15.8: By 2020, Introducing the measures to control the invasive alien species on land or water ecosystem and eradicating the priority species. • Please note: Invasive alien species not belonging to the particular ecosystem might bring diseases and / or can grow faster and destroy the natural habitat, etc. as per the IUCN. • Indicator: 15.8.1: Proportion of countries adopting legal framework and resourcing to prevent and control the invasive alien species Target 15.9: By 2020, integrating Ecosystem and Biodiversity Values from national level to ground level to reduce poverty and for inclusive development • Indicator 15.9.1: • a.

DSG14 Keeping Oceans Clean and Lively Live-able, Problems aggravated by or created due to or existed before Pandemic and their solutions, and Achieving SDG and Going to Moon, Mars and Beyond

SDG14 Problems Created or Aggravated due to Pandemic YouTube URL: https://youtu.be/MnG8ATIcJAM • Reference: https://sdgs.un.org/goals/goal14 • Sustainability of oceans are under severe threat due to: • Plastic Pollution: 5.25 Trillion plastic pieces are in ocean right now, and almost 10 million tonnes plastic dumped every year in the oceans • Marine Pollution: 70% of pollutant debris sink into oceans besides above pollution • Fishery Collapse: Ocean Biodiversity already gone, and in 50 years no fishes would be left in oceans if we don’t act • Acidification: 550 Billion tonnes of CO2 Got absorbed in Ocean and has become 30% more acidic than 300 year before • Eutrophication: Asia has highest Eutrophication in their lakes up to 60% while in Africa it is the least, 28%. It is nothing but fertiliser flowing to the ocean and its impact. • Ocean Warming: Top 2000 feet of ocean has got warmed about 1.5 Degrees Fahrenheit since 1900. • Dead zones were 400 in 2008 while the recorded dead zones in 2019 were 700, it might have got doubled in fact by now, where marine lives cannot live due to lack of sufficient oxygen availability for breathing and thus due to high pollution not suitable for complete life cycle of any known fishes or species. • Out of 16000+ Key Marine Biodiversity Areas more than half that is more than 8000+ Marine Biodiversity areas are NOT Protected and Not properly taken care. • Ocean Sciences Budget is just 1.2% of National Research Budgets which is insufficient • More than 3 Billion People live on Oceans for their livelihoods hence for sustainability half of the 193 member states are encouraging and have started small scale fishers as big fishers over exploit the oceans. • In Pandemic Masks, Plastic bottles for sanitisation and hand wash, got their outlets in oceans and lockdown overlooked above mentioned problems as none could go out of their homes, E.g. Collection of plastic waste could not be carried out in most of the places during pandemic lockdowns. NOW LET’S See Targets and Indicators for SDG14. SDG 14 Targets and Indicators: • Target 14.1: Preventing and Reducing Marine Pollution of kinds till 2025, including: • Land Based Activities, • Marine Debris and Nutrient Pollution • Indicator 14.1.1: • A: Index of Eutrophication: Means the fertilisers flown into the oceans: • Parts/ Billion i.e. Parts Per Billion i.e. PPB, OR • Microgram/ Litre • Then there are more calculations: • Eutrophication Equivalent is calculated in terms of C, O, H, and N combination of equations. • It is also calculated as a Phosphate Equivalent i.e. PO4 • B. Plastic Debris Density: In 2020: • Microplastic Density in ocean was found to be 0.88 to 1.01 gm per cubic cm (gm/cm3) • Plastic Density: • On Surface was almost 2 items per meter square i.e. 2 items/m2 • Below 10 cm debris were almost 50 items/ m2 • Out of these both above cases almost 98% debris on surface or below 10 cm water was plastic. • Target 14.2: By 2020, Manage Marine Ecosystem of Oceans to make them productive again by taking whatever measures possible to make them sustainable • Indicator 14.2.1: Number of nations using ecosystem-based approach to manage marine areas • Target 14.3: Reducing Ocean Acidification by international cooperation • Indicator 14.3.1: Average Marine Acidity pH value, at different sampling stations. The Value of pH is 7 for Neutral Water, and for less than 7 it’s Acidic and for more than 7 it’s Basic. • Target 14.4: Regulate the fishing so that fishes are biologically sustainable and are available for fishing as per their lifecycle at their maximum yield • Indicator 14.4.1: Proportion of fish stocks within biologically sustainable levels • Target 14.5: By 2020, Conserving the 10% marine areas consistent with national and international law • Indicator 14.5.1: Coverage of Protected areas in relation with the Marine Areas • Pandemic Lockdowns might make us have a relook at this pointer. • Target 14.6: By 2020, removing subsidies on certain fisheries, as integral part of the World Trade Organisation fisheries subsidies negotiation, which instigate illegal, unreported, and unregulated overfishing • Indicator 14.6.1: Degree of implementation of international instrument aiming to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing • Target 14.7: By 2020, Improving the sustainable management of fisheries, aquaculture and tourism so as to economically benefit the Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and Least Developed Countries (LDC). • Indicator 14.7.1: (Proportion of Sustainable Fisheries/ GDP), in SIDS, LDC and all countries. • Target 14.a: Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission Criteria and guidelines can help in transferring knowledge and technology related to marine biodiversity and helping improving the research this area, that can benefit the LDC and SIDC. • Indicator 14.a.1: Proportion of Budget dedicated to marine technology / Total Research Budget • Target 14.b: Provide access for small scale artisanal (individual poor fishermen) fisheries to marine resources and market • Indicator 14.b.1: Degree of the implantation of the legal framework/ regulatory framework to protect and benefit the small-scale artisanal fishermen • Target 14.c: Enhancing the Conservation and Sustainable use of the oceans by implementing international law as per the UN Convention on the Laws of the Sea (UNCLOS) and as per the paragraph 158 of THE FUTURE WE WANT. • Indicator 14.c.1: Number of countries making progress on protecting, conserving Ocean resources for their sustainable use as per the UN Convention on the Laws of the Sea (UNCLOS). • Finally, in Marathi one proverb is there, “Jal Hech Jeevan” means “Water is Life” i.e. “Life depends on Water”. So let’s protect and sustain our oceans and its resources.

SDG13 Stop Climate Change: Now or Never, Needed Post Pandemic Corrections and Achieving SDG and going to Moon, Mars and Beyond

SDG 13: Problems created or aggravated by Pandemic: YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/FbSzJRVg8X0 • Climate Crisis unabated (Ditto words of UN on SDG13 • In 2017 reached 1 Degrees Celsius above the Pre-Industrial level temperature, if want to reduce temperature by 1.5 degrees Celsius then we are falling behind 2015 Paris Agreement. • Shifting Economies to Carbon Neutrality is on hold due to Pandemic and it needs Post Pandemic Correction to achieve above mentioned 1.5 degrees Celsius reduction by 2050. • Climate Finance increased in 2015-16 and 2017-18 by 10% and reached USD 48.7 Billion but again Pandemic has negative impact on it. • Out of 154 developing countries 125 have National Climate Adaptation Plan with highest priority given to: • Food Security and Production, but Pandemic have destroyed the complete value chain right from production reaching to consumers • Human Health, has big impact as only COVID 2019 patients were on focus and most of the other diseases were almost neglected, • Key Economic Sectors and Services, Due to lockdown it had the biggest impact, • Terrestrial and Wetland Ecosystem, and • Freshwater Resources, also got impacted. SDG13: Targets and Indicators: • Target 13.1: • Strengthening Resilience • Strengthening Adaptive Capacity of All the Countries for: • Climate Related Hazards • Natural Disasters • Indicator 13.1.1: • Number of deaths in disaster/ 100,000 population, • Number of missing persons / 100,000 population, • Number of people directly affected / 100,000 population. • Indicator 13.1.2: Number of countries adopting SENDAI Framework 2015-2030 for Disaster Risk Reduction • Indicator 13.1.3: Proportion of local governments adapting National Risk Reduction strategies in line with SENDAI Framework 2015-2030 for Disaster Risk Reduction • Target 13.2: “Integrating climate changing measures into the national policies, strategies, and planning” Ditto as we saw in earlier Targets… • Indicator 13.2.1: Number of countries adapting to the UN Framework Convention for Climate Change with all details. • Indicator 13.2.2: Total Greenhouse Gas Emission of that nation / Year • Target 13.3: Improving Education, Awareness, and Human and Institutional and National Capacity on: • Climate Change • Climate Mitigation • Climate Adaptation • Disaster Early Warning • Disaster Impact Reduction • Indicator 13.3.1: Extend of the Education Reaching Grassroot level: • Global Citizenship Education and SDG: • Curricula, • Teachers Education and • Student Assessment (As we saw in earlier Target in details) • Indicator 13.3.2: Number of countries Adopted Target 13.3/ Out of 193 (present UNO members) • Target 13.a: Mobilising Green Climate Fund worth USD 100 Billion Every Year by 2020, as per the UN Convention on Climate Change to transparently see the action and results in developing countries. (It needs course correction due to pandemic and lockdowns) • Indicator 13.a.1: Amount provided in USD for collective mobilisation goal/ Planned USD 100 Billion per year commitment through 2025. • Target 13.b: Promote Mechanism for UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in: • Least Developed Countries • Small Island States • Including focus on Women, Youth, Local and Marginalised Communities • Indicator 13.b.1: As per the Intergovernmental, International and Global UN Framework Convention on Climate Change as reported to UN Secretariat with: • 1.

SDG12 Ensuring Sustainable Need based not Greed based Production and Consumption, Post Pandemic Corrections needed, and Achieving SDG and Going To Moon, Mars and Beyond

SDG12 Ensuring Sustainable Need based not Greed based Production and Consumption, Post Pandemic Corrections needed, and Achieving SDG and Going To Moon, Mars and Beyond

What does SDG 12 talks about? YouTube URL: https://youtu.be/PINiu5JJa1Y • Sustainable Production and not exploitation of resources • Sustainable NEED based Consumption and not GREED based Consumption so that future generations also gets share into it. What are the Existing Problems, and which are the problems those got Aggravated or were created by Pandemic? Reference: SDG Reports Before Pandemic 2017/18 and SDG Reports After Pandemic 19/20/21, LinkedIn Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/sdg12-ensuring-sustainable-need-based-greed-achieving-dr-ashish-/ YouTube URL: https://youtu.be/PINiu5JJa1Y • 1. Material Footprint increased by more than 70+% from 2000 till 2017: • Globally, 1 million Bottles of drinking water are bought/ Minute, • Worldwide, 5 Trillion Single Use Plastic Bags are thrown away/ Year • The Best Solution over plastic is 5R- Best is to Refuse, next best is to Reuse, Recycle, Reduce and Remove • 2. Electronic Waste (e-waste) is Proliferating: • In 2018 e-waste generated was 50 Million Tonnes, in 2019 it was 53.6 Million Tonnes, which might go two and half times more in 2050. Whopping, 7.3 Kilogram Generated/ Person (Capita) and is booming and mushrooming, while, • Only, 1.7 Kilogram Get Recycled, thus 60% is not Disposed of Responsibly • The Best Solutions for e-waste Management could not be implemented during Pandemic, E.g. Lot of that e-waste was neither recycled nor could be reused nor we could take any other measures due to lockdowns, hence, post pandemic correction is definitely required for this goal. • 3. Fossil Fuel subsidies of are continuing though it decreased by 21% to 419 and from 2019. However, if subsidies continued then definitely citizens will keep using it and it will continue, as due to Pandemic, people cannot afford other fuels in developing and poor countries. So this pointer needs a relook as it definitely cannot be achieved at par as decided to be reached, till 2030. • Now… SDG 12: Targets and Indicators: Target 12.1: Implementing the 10 year program on Sustainable consumption and production • The Developed countries should take responsibility for themselves and helping to pass on technologies to poor and least developed countries. • Indicator 12.1.1: Number of countries out of 193 nations, planning, adopting and implementing policy instruments aimed at Sustainable Consumption and Production. Target 12.2: By 2030 Achieving the Sustainable management and efficiently use of natural resources without over consumption or destroying the environment. • Indicator 12.2.1: • Material Footprint • Material Footprint/ Capita • Material Footprint/ GDP • Indicator 12.2.2: • Domestic Material Consumption • Domestic Material Consumption/ Capita • Domestic Material Consumption/ GDP Target 12.3: By 2030, • Reducing the per capita food waste at retail level, should be halved, • Reducing the per capita food waste at consumer level, should be halved, • Reduce Food losses during production itself, should be halved, • Reducing Food losses in Storage, Logistics and Supply Chains, should be halved, • Reducing Post Harvest Losses, should be halved. • Indicator 12.3.1: As per Food and Agriculture Organisation, FAO, UNO: • It measures the changes in percentage losses for a basket of 10 main commodities, inclusive and exclusive of value chain, by country in comparison with a base period: • Food Loss Index • Food Waste Index Target 12.4: By 2030 Achieving the Sound Environmental Management System for all inclusive least environmental hazards to any entity on Mother Earth by following the Agreed International Framework. • Indicator 12.4.1: All multilateral agencies to communicate all the relevant agreement based information as per the requirement. • Indicator 12.4.2: • Hazardous Waste Generated / Capita • Proportion of Hazardous Waster Treated/ Kind of Treatment Target 12.5: By 2030, Reducing, Waste Generated by Recycle and Reuse • Indicator 12.5.1: • National Recycling Rate, Tonnes of Material Recycled Target 12.6: Encouraging giant companies for integrating, implementing and creating the best sustainable practises WITH the information in to their reporting cycle to build transparency as well. • Indicator 12.6.1: Number of Companies Publishing Sustainability Report Target 12.7: Public Procurement Practices should be Transparent, Sustainable and National priorities and policies should match the relevant UN Framework and Agreements during the complete procurement process. • Indicator 12.7.1: Degree of Sustainable Procurement Policies and Action Plans Implementation Target 12.8: Building awareness about SDG and lifestyle in harmony with nature, by 2030. • Indicator 12.8.1: Extend to which: • i. Global Citizenship Education as a part of: • A. Curricula • B. Teacher Education • C. Student Assessment • ii. Education of Sustainable Development as a main stream in: • A. Curricula • B. Teacher Education • C. Student Assessment (It needs post pandemic course correction) Target 12.a: Supporting Developing Countries by providing technology and know how and financial help if needed for moving towards achieving sustainable production and consumption patterns • Indicator 12.a.1: Renewable Energy capability implemented in developing countries in Wattage/ Capita (It needs post pandemic course correction) Target 12.b: Developing Sustainable Tourism Impact tools calculators for monitoring: • Job creation, (It needs post pandemic course correction) • Promoting local culture and products • Indicator 12.b.1: Implementing Accounting tools to monitor: • Economics of Tourism • Environment impact due to tourism • Sustainability of Tourism Target 12.c: Encouraging Zero Pollution, at the same time, Rationalising Fuel Subsidies and balancing the Economics of Poor and Needy with the Reduction of Environmental plus Health Hazards (It needs post pandemic course correction) • Indicator 12.c.1: • Amount of Fossil Fuel Subsidies (Production and Consumption) / GDP Finally, a Simple Request: • “Living with nature and living naturally is better than living artificially against the nature, as ultimately tiny elements of which our body is made up of belonging to Revered Mother Earth those which we are thinking we are made up of will go back and mix with the revered Mother Earth, after our death! • Thus, protecting Environment while we are still alive, is nothing but protecting ourselves and so, Respecting Nature is Respecting ourselves. • Hence, we must ensure ourselves, that we are taking care of each particle within us, respect each entity around us, and show devotion to those particles of which we are made up of, which are going to mix with the revered Mother Earth. • Simple, Respect to Nature or Environment is Respect to Self or Humans.” If you have any suggestions, you are welcome.

SDG 11: HUMANE CITIES: All Inclusive Humane Purpose Cities, Post Pandemic Corrections and Achieving SDG and Going to Moon, Mars and Beyond

SDG 11: HUMANE CITIES: All Inclusive Humane Purpose Cities and Achieving SDG and Going to Moon, Mars and Beyond

What does SDG11 Talks about? YouTube URL: https://youtu.be/1_A3IBdHFBU • LinkedIn Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/sdg-11-humane-cities-all-inclusive-purpose-achieving-dr-ashish-/ • SDG11 talks about, “HUMANE CITIES!” • Cities must be All Inclusive, means poorest to the richest can live there • Cities must be Safe, means cleaning and other measures should be on the mark to avoid diseases, mosquitos, etc. • Cities must be Resilient, means they must be all weather proof, and • Cities must be Sustainable, means they must not be temporary shelter, but must last longer having futuristic requirements take care in advanced, to some extent. Impact of Pandemic on the SDG11: Reference: https://sdgs.un.org/goals/goal11 • Almost, 1.2 Billion i.e. More than 1/8th of the global population, live in slums, and Pandemic has devastated their whole life. They can’t move, they can’t stay at their place, they can earn, their kids can’t study, and government official made lockdown compulsory. • Proximity of neighbours could not keep the 1- or 2-meters social distancing, which made the living, a hell for slum dwellers. • Almost 80% of the slum dwellers live in: • Eastern and South Eastern Asia, 370+ million • Sub Saharan Africa, 238+ million, and • Central and Southern Asia, 226+ million. • Kids keep asking this,“135+ countries have Right To Education but nowhere 100% literacy is there? Why?” Similarly, “156 countries have National Urban Policies (NUP) but most of them are on the papers only, does it mean, that the Leaders Who Planned the SDG are Not Serious on it? Why?”  • The Average Global Share of Urban Area Allocated to Streets and Open Public Spaces is 30% but we could achieve 16% only. Surprised? How can any city get the best city award then?  Again kids question. • Only almost 50% of the global population have the convenient access to the Public transport of any kind. Ex. 500 meters walking distance for the Bus transport and 1 kilometre walking for the Ferry or Train Transport. So all slum dwellers will be left behind, in case access to affordable and sustainable transport are not improved, they’ll be spending more on transportation and so they will not be able to come up from extreme poverty. • Pandemic stalled many Public Transport Projects, so this SDG11 needs a course correction. • Thanks to city of Paris which has planned to become a 10 minutes city in coming 2 decades. Hope other cities will have still better plans and actions. What are Targets and Indicators of the SDG11? • Target 11.1: Ensuring Safe, Affordable Housing for all and upgradation of slums, so as to have all basic minimum facilities • Indicator 11.1.1: • Proportion of Population living in slums, • Proportion of Population living in informal settlements and • Proportion of Population living in inadequate housing. • Or / and All above together • Target 11.2: • Providing Safe, Affordable, Accessible, and Sustainable Transport System for all, • Improving Road Safety, • Expanding Public Transport, • Special Attention be given to the needs of: • Women • Children • Older people • Persons with disabilities, • Others in any Vulnerable situations • Indicator 11.2.1: Proportion of Public having convenient access to Public Transport: • By Gender • By Age • Persons with Disabilities • Target 11.3: Going for Sustainable Urbanisation with inclusive approach in all the countries • Indicator 11.3.1: Simple Ratio of: • Land Consumption Rate / Population Growth • Indicator 11.3.2: Proportion of Number of Cities having Direct democratic civil society participation in urban planning and management • Target 11.4: Protection of world’s cultural and natural heritage • Indicator 11.4.1: Total Per Capita Expenditure on Preservation, Protection, Conservation OF Cultural, Natural Heritage by: • Source of Funding: • May it be Public • May it private • Type of Heritage: • May it be Cultural • May it be Natural • Level of Government: • National • Regional • Local / Municipal • Target 11.5: Protecting the vulnerable and thus Reducing the deaths and destruction due to the disasters • Indicator 11.5.1: • Number deaths/ 100,000 population • Number of missing/ 100,000 population • Number of people directly affected/ 100,000 population • Economic Losses due to Disasters/ Total National GDP • Indicator 11.5.2: • Direct Economic Losses/ Global GDP • Direct Economic Losses includes: • Damage to Critical Infrastructure • Disruption of basic services attributed to disasters • Target 11.6: Reducing Environmental Impact on cities • If we calculate Per capita Impact of: • Air Pollution • Municipal and other Waste Management • Indicator 11.6.1: Solid Waste Collected and Discharged/ Total Solid Waste Generated by city or cities • Indicator 11.6.2: Annual Mean level of Particulate Matter in Cities • Target 11.7: Providing Inclusive and Universal Access to safe, green and public space to: • Women • Children • Older people, and • Persons with disabilities • Indicator 11.7.1: Average Built up area of open space for public use for above i to iv kinds of people. • Indicator 11.7.2: Proportion of above i to iv mentioned person/s who faced harassments in last 12 months • Target 11.a: Balancing and Strengthening, Environment and Development in urban, per-urban and rural areas • Indicator 11.a.1: • Number of countries having Urban or Regional Development Plans those are: • Flexible to Population Dynamics • Balanced Territorial Development • Increase Fiscal Space. • Target 11.b: By 2030 adopting holistically the SENDAI Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030.

SDG10 Globally Reducing all forms of Inequalities, Post Pandemic Corrections needed, and Achieving SDG and going to Moon Mars and Beyond

SDG10 Globally Reducing all forms of Inequalities and Achieving SDG and going to Moon Mars and Beyond:

SDG10 Globally Reducing Inequalities of all kinds: (YouTube URL: https://youtu.be/I6X-3QrNmZI ) LinkedIn Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/sdg10-globally-reducing-all-forms-inequalities-sdg-dr-ashish-/ • What is the SDG talks about? (Reference: https://sdgs.un.org/goals/goal10 ) • SDG 10 talks about Globally Reducing Inequalities of all kinds, within the countries and among the countries • Now as usual we’ll discuss about Problems created or aggravated by the COVID-2019 Pandemic first, so that course corrections and solutions can be found out and later we’ll find out its impact on each Target and Indicator of SDG10: • Gini Index has increased. We generally don’t talk technical terms but if this index happens to be zero then there are not inequalities present in the society. However, it was never zero till date, and lot of work was done to reduce this gap. However, all work is lost due to Pandemic, 6% increase in the Gini Index was recorded. Thus, Inequality has increased and Richer have become extra richer and Poor have become still more poorer in developing and emergent markets. This impact is higher than the 2007 to 2009 global financial crises, due to Pandemic lockdowns. • In our own Survey we found that the people in the private sector in India and across the world suffered most and have come 1 level down in their Financials especially among the middle classes. Rest of the details later. • Proportion of Global Population per million has doubled since 2010 due to increase in war torn states, vulnerable states and failure states in 2020 and it is 311/ 100,000 globally right now. • Another point is people in the warn torn states try to migrate and in that more than 4000 people died in 2020. Are we kind and sensitive humans? Please think over it. • Another point is people leave their countries for better prospects or for job and then they send remittances to family back to their own countries. Even those remittances costs are almost 6.5% in 2020, and they are more than double than the target of 3% though they are at the lowest till date. • There can be definitely humanitarian side to this and each person’s background will be very useful while dealing each case on person to person basic so that misuse of the law cannot be there, sending money to old mother or father of relative costs 6% then this point needs a relook. SDG10 Targets and Indicators: • Target 10.1: By 2030 slowly and steadily bringing income growth of bottom 40% of the population above the national average. • Indicator 10.1.1: • Increase in Per Capita Income, • Increase in Total Population Income, • Increase in Per Capita Income of bottom 40% • Target 10.2: By 2030 empowering and promoting social, political and economic inclusion by: • Age • Gender • Person with disabilities • Race • Ethnicity • Origin • Religion • Economic Status, etc. other human created added divisions in society • Target 10.2: By 2030 empowering and promoting social, political and economic inclusion by: • Age • Gender • Person with disabilities • Race • Ethnicity • Origin • Religion • Economic Status, etc. other human created added divisions in society • Indicator 10.2.1: Proportion of People living below Median Income by: • Age, • Gender and • Persons with disability • Target 10.3: Creating Equal Opportunity and measures there of by: • Preparing Policies and Implementing them • Eliminating the discriminatory Laws • Promoting Appropriate Legislation • Promoting best practices • Outcome based Actions with respect to International Law on Discrimination • Indicator 10.3.1: Proportion of people reporting discrimination on above based point in last 12 months i.e. 1 year. • Target 10.4: Adopt fiscal, wage, financial inclusion, social protection, to achieve greater equality • Indicator 10.4.1: Share of Labour/ GDP • Indicator 10.4.2: Redistributive impact of Social Policies, in other words, Checking the impact of whatever social policies been implemented. • Target 10.5: This is national and inter-national level inequality pointer. In this global Financial Market is observed and the local as well as national financial institutions are strengthened with the regulations, by monitoring the impact of the fluctuations in the global financial domains as well as global market. • Indicator 10.5.1: Financially Sound Indicators  Someone asked what are those things? Please simplify… • So there 3 indicators: • a. Where the nations is stronger or sound enough or leading? • b. Where the nation is coincident as planned? • c. Where the nation is lagging behind? • Then there are indicators for all these 3 indicators:  • a. How is GDP performing going up or down or same as last time? • b. What is the Inflation? May it be Whole Sale Price Index or Consumer Price Index, etc. like that • c. Industrial Production, • d. Trade, • e. Exchange Rate of the local currency with dollar and/or any other international currency, • f. Balance of Payments, • g. Banking Indicators for the Financial Sector, etc. • Target 10.6: Listening to the Dependants for better inclusive output. Simple. • By Giving proper representation to the developing countries, • By Letting Global International and Financial Institutions deliver on: • Legitimate Institutions, • Accountable Institutions, • Effective Institutions, • Credible Institutions. • Indicators 10.6.1: • Proportion of Members from Developing Countries in the International Institutions, • Proportion of Members from Developing Countries in the International organisations, • Voting Rights of the Developing Countries in the International Institutions, • Voting Rights of the Developing Countries in the International organisations. • Target 10.7: Migrations of the people with legitimate policies. • Migration of people should be in orderly fashion, • Safe migration mobility and modes of transport • Migration must be regular and responsible and well managed so that none lose the track • Indictor 10.7.1: • (Recruitment cost borne by the employee in the destination country per year) / (What the person is earning in that country) • Indictor 10.7.2: • (Number of countries that offer orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of the people) / (Total UNO members) • Indictor 10.7.3: • (Number of people died or disappeared during migration before reaching their destination) / (Number of people actually migrated) • Indictor 10.7.4: Proportion of Population who are refugees, by country of origin: • ex. (Population from ABCD country as a refugee in that country/ Total Refugee in that country) • Target 10.a: Giving special treatment to Developing or Least Developed Countries as per the WTO Agreements • Indicator 10.a.1: “Proportion of Tariff line applied to import from Least Developed nations or developing countries with Zero Tariff”. •  “What’s that?” Some one asked. • In simple terms tax should be least, in fact should be zero, when importing products and services from under developed countries. • Target 10.b: Encouraging Official Developing Assistance including Financial like FDI to whom it needs most with intention to give boost to national plans of: • Least Developed Countries • African Countries • Small Islands • Landlocked under developed countries • Indicator 10.b.1: • Country who received FDI/ Donor Country, ex. 100 million/ Donated by India, • Donor Country Share / Total Resource Flow, etc. ex. 10% share of USA / Total 5 Billion FDI & Resource • Target 10.c: By 2030 reducing cost of transaction for Remittance to 3% and discarding offering transaction cost more than 5%. • Indicator 10.c.1: Remittance cost/ Total Remittance If a person observe, SDG are indicators to reduce the troubles and stresses of the humans living anywhere and everywhere on the mother earth. Final point of remittance shows that those who try to exploit will be eliminated from the process and system, it’s that simple. “Are humans going to fight wars for millions of years? We need Welfare not Wars. Why not same investment be made in Achieving SDG and going to Moon, Mars and Beyond? Definitely our fundamentals of living, governing, government administrations, sources of earning money, and overall social values needs a relook, before it’s too late for humanity.” Copyright: Dr. Ashish Manohar, 2006. Pandemic has proved this point. Please think over it.

SDG 9: All Inclusive, Resilient and Sustainable, the Innovation, the Industrialization and the Infrastructure, Post Pandemic Corrections needed, and Achieving SDG and going to Moon, Mars and Beyond

SDG 9: All Inclusive, Resilient and Sustainable, the Innovation, the Industrialization and the Infrastructure, and Achieving SDG and going to Moon, Mars and Beyond

LinkedIn Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/sdg-9-all-inclusive-sustainable-quality-continuous-dr-ashish-/ YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/HYQmzvrzUpM Problems faced during Pandemic: As per the https://sdgs.un.org/goals/goal9 SDG Report 2021 • 1. In 2020, during Pandemic Lockdown the Global Manufacturing DEACREASED by 6.8%, it’s a huge, when UN states that 7% growth is need of the day to Achieve SDG’s by 2030, especially in the Least Developed Countries, etc. Hence, course correction for SDG 2030 is needed for sure. • Air passengers dropped from 4.5 billion till the start of 2019 to 1.8 Billion in 2020 which is 60% decline. We already saw even the Globally International Travellers got dropped from 1.5 Billion to 381 million in the previous SDGs during the same period. • Out of 520 million Rural dwellers 300 million lack good access to roads in almost 25 countries. So the best Solution is investment in Rural Infrastructure globally especially in these 25 countries. • COVID-2019 Pandemic proved that 2 trillion investment and 1235 Researchers/ Million is far less and more investment can find better solutions. I already posted a question cum Solution on this problems, in the world bank discussion 13 times since 2004 till 2021. It’s like this. Imagine if viruses and bacteria which had no effect of any atrocities in the jungle environment or of temperature of -70 degrees in Antarctica or living in deep sea or living kilometres below earth inside the petroleum products….etc. and if they enters into the human space what will happen? Are we ready for the Catastrophe? Why don’t we have standard Solutions like building more than 100 Serum Institute of India like facilities in more than 100 countries so that urgent vaccines or medicines or therapy could be found out and built in emergencies? Please Think over it. • During the forth quarter manufacturing in the high and medium tech products increased by 4% in 2020 from that of 2019, but still MICROCHEAP or simply CHEAP SHORTAGE i.e. Semi Conductor shortage devasted the Supply Chain of many tech products, automobile Industry in January 2022 https://www.bbc.com/news/business-60135905 and Why is there a cheap shortage? https://www.bbc.com/news/business-58230388 , https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-55936011 SDG9 Targets and Indicators: YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/HYQmzvrzUpM • Target 9.1: Developing the best quality borderless Infrastructure globally for equitable human wellbeing with inclusive economic growth and affordable access to all • Indicator 9.1.1: Proportion of rural population with the proximity of all weather suitable road within 2 kilometres • Indicator 9.1.2: • Passenger Volume/ Mode of Transport and • Freight Volume / Mode of Transport • Target 9.2: Promoting Inclusive Industrialisation with increase in employment and GDP, and doubling the share of least developed countries by 2030 and this definitely needs course correction due to Pandemic. • Indicator 9.2.1: Manufacturing Value Added/ GPD • Indicator 9.2.2: Manufacturing Employment/ Total Employment • Target 9.3: It has lot of points with respect to small scale industries and enterprises with respect to developing countries: • Increasing Access to Financial Services, • Inclusive Affordable Credit, • Integration with Market value chain • Indicator 9.3.1: Proportion of Small Scale Industry/ Total Industry value added • Indicator 9.3.2: Proportion of Small Scale Industries with loan or line of credit • Target 9.4: Upgrading Industry Infrastructure for efficiency and environmentally sound technology • Indicator 9.4.1: Carbon Di Oxide/ Unit of Value Added • Target 9.5: Enhancing and Building Technological and Research and Development Capabilities by more investment public as well as private and also increasing the researchers population per million • Indicator 9.5.1: R & D Expenditure/ GDP • Indicator 9.5.2: Full Time Researchers/ 1 Million Inhabitants • Target 9.a: Facilitating Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure Development with Financial and Technological support to: • In Land locked countries • African countries • Least Developed Countries • Small Island States • Indicator 9.a.1: Total Official International Support to Infrastructure • This target needs course correction • Target 9.b: Supporting Domestic R & D at all levels and in all verticals • Indicator 9.b.1: Proportion of medium and high tech industry value added in total value added • Target 9.c: Significantly increasing reach of ICT and internet access at grass root level by 2020, especially in the least developed countries • Indicator 9.c.1: Proportion of population covered by mobile network, and technology • “Finally, in case values and ethics based humanity decides to expand their civilisation on Moon, Mars and Beyond by Achieving MDG/SDG on Mother Earth, and if each country, company, institution and each individual all are made part of the space age aim, action plan and value chain, then one day at least one Country or Company might break the light speed barrier and slowly we might go to various places in the universe and beyond”. This I quoted by God’s Grace many times. Also, Since, 2002 till 2007 from BBC to World Bank to my own UNESCO Engineering Congress Publications, I have quoted following: • “Dobereiner's triads matches MDG, next level goals (SDG) could match Newlands' Octave, next level could match the Mendeleev’s Periodic Table, but, I suggest here Universal Goals that could match Modern Periodic Table, to let ethics and values based human civilization live forever by better governance, practices, faster ideas and best practices communications between humans to humans and other species on different places and dimensions, and by developing safe and reliable technologies like faster than light commutation, too. All procedures and systems should be made public, globally, Now, so that all the value chains, of all the organizations, institutions, individuals are aligned and encouraged to be part of this great plan and realistic activity, to establish human civilization on the Moon, Mars and Beyond”.

Sustainable Development Goals: SDG 8 Sustainable Global Economic Growth, Safe and Quality Jobs for All, and Achieving SDG and going to Moon, Mars and Beyond

SDG 8 Sustainable Global Economic Growth, Safe and Quality Jobs for All, and Achieving SDG and going to Moon, Mars and Beyond

Problems created or got aggravated by Pandemic: YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/J0g3-C020RQ LinkedIn Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/sdg-8-sustainable-global-economic-growth-safe-quality-dr-ashish- As per the SDG Report 2021: https://sdgs.un.org/goals/goal8 1. Globally almost 255 million full time jobs were lost; it’s 4 times more than 2007 to 2009 global economic slowdown. 2. To come back to 2.2% growth of global real GDP per capita, early 2019 standards, it will take 2023 economies across the globe as all of them fell down by 4.4% in 2020. 3. 1.6 Billion workers attached to informal economy having no social security had no earning sources during pandemic as they were living hand to mouth. 4. Tourism got totally devastated due to lockdowns during pandemic. In place of 2019’s 1.5 billion people travelling only 381 million people travelled in 2020, thus it will take 2025 only to come back to that peak again. 5. Pandemic has led 31.1% young Women and 14% young men unemployed. May be many will not be able attain higher studies if their parents lost the job, so we need to be conscious here after and deal this generation with care. 6. Due to lack of funds at home, many youngies will lose on education and training as well as per the UN stats website SDG 2021 Report. 7. In our own Survey we found that even existing jobs of the teachers, and employees in private companies were affected and 100% were getting less salary than usual. Many in India and other countries lost their jobs during pandemic and whole informal sector employing inclusively got washed away, thus throwing billions into poverty. 80% people in lower middle class fell down below poverty line, as they had no source of income. 8. E. g. Take Example, Some families were earning 10 USD/ Day and they stood lower middle class, but during 18 months lockdown, there was no salary, then? Didn't they got down to "Below Poverty Line", as their Earning was ZERO. 9. When visited to certain housing loans companies their 80% EMI got defunct. In one Survey we found that only Government Employees and Big Businessmen could pay their EMI on time, where as Housing EMI got sever jolt due to loss of job or salary got reduced in the private organisations. Buying good property at cheaper cost has increased and it seems richer will become still richer and poor will be thrown into debt trap. So again, concentration of power and money will go to influential, powerful and rich people it seems. 10. Hence, Course Correction is required for this SDG8 Goal Post Pandemic is my humble suggestion. What is SDG8? As per the UN SDG8 talks about achieving Sustained and inclusive economic growth that provides safe, decent and productive employment to all. What are the Targets and Indicators of SDG8? Target 8.1: Achieving at least 7% GDP growth per annum in Least Developed Countries and sustained per capita income in all the countries Indicator 8.1.1: Annual Growth Rate of Real GDP per capita. Target 8.2: This has many pointers clubbed in to one: Achieve Higher level of productivity through diversification Target 8.2: This has many pointers clubbed in to one: • Achieve Higher level of productivity through diversification • Technological upgradation and innovation • Focus on high value-added sectors • Inclusive Focus also on Labour intensive sectors Indicator 8.2.1: Annual Growth Rate of GDP per Employed person. Target 8.3: Promoting Development oriented policies which has lot of job creating fundamentals clubbed together, like: • Decent Jobs creations, • Entrepreneurship development, • R & D and creativity and innovation, • Encouragement to Formal Sectors, • Helping growth of micros, small, medium, enterprises, • Mentorship for business growth, • Helping hand through Financial Services. Indicator 8.3.1: Proportion of informal employment in non agriculture sector employment by gender i.e. • Employed Male/ Non-Agriculture Sector, etc. Target 8.4: By 2030, Stopping environmental degradation, following 10-year framework on Sustainable Consumption and Production, Developed countries should take a lead. • Thus, not only carbon foot print but material foot print is also important if we have to save us and keep living on the mother earth Indictor 8.4.1: • Material Footprint • Material Footprint per capita • Material Footprint per GDP Indicator 8.4.2: • Domestic Material Consumption, • Domestic Material Consumption per capita • Domestic Material Consumption per GDP Target 8.5: Achieving Full Productive Inclusive Employment meaning even for persons with disabilities and with principle of equal pay for equal work for equal value irrespective their genders Indicator 8.5.1: Average Hourly income in any occupation, by gender and for person with disabilities Indicator 8.5.2: Unemployment Rate by gender and persons with disability Target 8.6: By 2020, Reducing the youth unemployment, not in education and / or not under training to learn certain skills to get certain job or for his own entrepreneurship venture. Indicator 8.6: Proportion of youth lying between age 15 to 24 years not in employment, education or training. • This needs course correction as, all can observe that Pandemic has forced many out of job, out of schools and out of trainings. Let’s work together to overcome this obstacle. As in one of our own Survey we found that UNEMPLOYMENT is one of the biggest causes of concern on Mother Earth. Target 8.7: Eradicating child labour and exploitation, irrespective of their gender, in all its forms by 2025 and it definitely needs course correction as lot of people are forced below poverty line and if parents lost the job their children cannot to schools these kids might be forced to do anything by force by socially negative people i.e. antisocial elements. It’s an Alarming point. Governments need to keep a track positively using SIN, Unique ID, AADHAR, Citizenship cards on children in their respective countries, as positive minded children are the best future. Indicator 8.7.1: Proportion and number of children aged between 5 to 17 years engaged in exploitative work by gender and age. Target 8.8: Protecting Labour rights to local and migrant workers and promoting and providing safe and secure environment to every worker, especially working in unsafe, precarious work, irrespective of their gender Indicator 8.8.1: • Fatal Injuries/ 100,000 • Non-Fatal Injuries / 100,000 • By genders status • By migrant worker status Indicator 8.8.2: • Level of National Level of compliance of labour rights by gender and migrant status, as per the textual sources of national legislature, • Level of International Labour Organisation (ILO) compliance of labour rights by gender and migrant status Target 8.9: By 2030, devising a plan that helps growth in tourism which helps growing employment by services and promoting local products and culture Indicator 8.9.1: (Tourism Direct or Related GDP/ Total GPD) and growth in this ratio. • This needs course correction as whole tourism industry was halted due to pandemic. Target 8.10: Banking and Insurance Services should reach at the grassroot level and hence strengthening the local banking and financial institutions Indicator 8.10.1: • Number of ATM (Automated Teller Machines)/ 100000 adults • Number of Commercial Banks Branches/ 100000 adults Indicator 8.10.2: • Proportion of Adults age above 15 years holding bank account or holding account with mobile money service providers 8.a: Increased Aid for Trade Support for developing countries, including enhanced Trade Related Technical Assistance to Least Developed Countries Indicator 8.a.1: Aid for Trade Commitments and Disbursements Target 8.b: By 2020, Developing and operationalising the strategy for the youth employment and implementing the Global Jobs Pact of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Indicator 8.b.1: Existence and Developed and Operationalised national strategy for Youth Employment which should be independent from the national Strategy of overall employment. Finally, let me request you, to please contribute to this cause of Sustainable Goals so that next generation will say, our ancestors were great and legends, otherwise, if we handover the spoiled planet i.e. our Mother Earth which is not liveable for them, then, they might curse us. So, Let’s LIVE and Let others LIVE and then let’s LEAVE this Mother Earth with positive note. Let’s LIVE for a Cause, and Let’s LEAVE for a Cause. Let’s LIVE for Positivity and Let’s LEAVE Positivity behind us when we LEAVE Mother Earth. YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/J0g3-C020RQ get subscribed if you wish. Thank you very much.

Sustainable Development Goals: SDG7 Latest Technological, Affordable, Reliable Sustainable Energy to all, Need of the Post Pandemic Corrections, and Achieving SDG and Going to Moon, Mars and Beyond

SDG7 Latest Technological, Affordable, Reliable Sustainable Energy to all, Need of the Post Pandemic Corrections, and Achieving SDG and Going to Moon, Mars and Beyond: YouTube URL: https://youtu.be/JFRAKjZ794s SDG7 Latest Technological, Affordable, Reliable Sustainable Energy to all: Problems world facing: As per the UN SDG 2018/19/20/21 Reports: https://sdgs.un.org/goals/goal7 • 2.6 to 3 Billion population still use dangerous and harmful pollutant energy sources for cooking • Almost 1 Billion people lack basic electricity facility and Sub Saharan Africa has 75% population who don’t have this basic facility • Energy Efficiency Improvement Rate is also less, it need to be increased to 3% by 2030 but from 2010 till 2018 it was 2% only. • Modern Renewable Energy Consumption and Production is also not up to the mark, hence quality of life and services gets affected: • Electricity Sector has just 25.4% part of Renewable (Solar, Wind, Tidal, Hydro, Biofuel, Geothermal, Waste to Power, etc.) Energy Production • Heat Sector has just 9.2% part of Renewable (Solar, Wind, Tidal, Hydro, Biofuel, Geothermal, Waste to Power, etc.) Energy Production • Transportation is far behind, Just 3.4% vehicles run on Renewable (mostly Battery powered) Energy. • The Best Solution is to Improve R and D in the Renewable Energy Technology and Implementing which can help improve the affordable and sustainable energy to all. SDG 7 Targets and Indicators:

• Target 7.1: By 2030, ensuring universal access to affordable, clean, reliable Energy with modern technological resources • Indicator 7.1.1: Proportion of Population having access to Electricity / Total Population, has to increase to 100% by 2030. • Indicator 7.1.2: Proportion of Population with reliance on clean energy/ Total Population, should be increased to 100% by 2030. • This definitely needs course corrections after Pandemic • Target 7.2: Increasing the share of renewable energy sources in the energy mix globally, by 2030. • Ex. In, USA it was 12.6% in 2020 so this share has to be increased is this target. • Indicator 7.2.1: Share of Renewable Energy Sources/ Total Energy consumption. • Ex. After USA and China, India Ranked 3rd in the world in the Energy Consumption and India has 21.25% share in the Renewable energy generation in 2020. • Target 7.3: By 2030 doubling the rate of Energy Efficiency Improvement • Indicator 7.3.1: Energy Intensity Ratio = Energy consumption / GDP • Target 7.a: Promoting investment in Energy Infrastructure and Enhancing International R & D Cooperation: • In Clean and Renewable Energy Technology • Energy Efficiency • Advanced and Cleaner Fossil Fuel Technology • Indicator 7.a.1: International Financial Flow via FII through FDI and Foreign Investment in the developing countries for clean and renewable energy resources and R and D in Energy Production and even in the hybrid systems • Target 7.b: As per need of each state/ nation, Expanding Resources and upgrading technology, infrastructure in: • Developing Countries, • Least Developed Countries, • Small Islands, • Land Locked Countries • Indicator 7.b.1: • Ratio of “Watts / Capita” in Developing Countries, • Ratio of “Watts / Capita” in Least Developed Countries, • Ratio of “Watts / Capita” in Small Islands, • Ratio of “Watts / Capita” in Land Locked Countries • Finally, it’s sure that we have technology and human resources to achieve this by 2030, just willingness of whole human civilisation can be the added fuel and energy to Achieve SDG, and then going to Moon, Mars, and Beyond. • “Dr. Nikolai Kardashev defined the Type 1, then Type 2 then Type 3 Technologically Advanced Civilisation Levels and I claim here that humans can reach even further level of civilisation who can control even the quark or the string or the Tatva or Tanmatra as per the Vedanta if we Achieve (MDG at that time) SDG and can match any advanced civilisations when we find them or they find us as per the Dr. Frank Drake Equation or as per the idea that there are many advanced civilisations existing in the Infinite Space, Dimensions, and in the Infinite Galaxies/ Brahmand. Till then, let’s build strong foundation by Achieving SDG (MDG at that time) and settling on the Moon, Mars, Earth 1, Earth 2 and going Beyond.” Copyright Dr. Ashish Manohar Urkude, 2006 • For whom we are doing, for our kids and next generation. Hope you agree. Just think over it. Dr. Ashish Manohar, Soulution Master, India
