Week 7: Challenges to Sustainable Development (19/11/2024)

By this week, we had online class where challenges of sustainable development were being discussed. Sustainable development strives to achieve economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability, but both governments and communities confront many challenges in accomplishing these goals. Not only that, sustainable development faces challenges from economic, environmental, and social aspects. Some of the general challenges are inequalities of access to health facilities, inequalities of access to educational resources, inequalities of access to food, and inequalities of access to clean water. It is also highlighted several specific challenges to execute sustainable consumption and production patterns, combat global poverty, conserve and manage natural resources.
