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.

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”.
