Case-Based Discussion 01: United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals

To begin the first case-based discussion, watch the video, Reflecting on Rio: Looking Back to 1992, which can be accessed through Ares (select Ares on the navbar). After watching the video, review the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. There are 17 goals in total, all of which have their own sub-targets and indicators for progress towards the 2030 deadline. Choose one goal (by clicking on the icon), and have a look at the various targets and indicators. Then, ask yourself the following questions:

• To what extent do these targets represent a contribution to or a departure from earlier thinking about sustainable development?
• To what extent are the goals and targets achievable?

Post your response and reply to your groupmates’ postings in the Case-Based Discussion 01 forum.
